Em (022000@1)               C (x32010@1)                D (xx0232@1)  I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime. 
Em (022000@1)               C (x32010@1)                D (xx0232@1)                 Em (022000@1)  Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time. 
C (x32010@1)                      D (xx0232@1)                    Em (022000@1)'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows pole, 
C (x32010@1)               D (xx0232@1)                Em (022000@1)The sands of time for me are running low.

Em (022000@1)When the priest comes to read me the last rites,

I take a look through the bars at the last sights,

Em (022000@1)Can it be that there's some sort of error. 
GC 
Hard to stop the surmounting terror.

Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?

Em (022000@1)Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming, 
C (x32010@1)It's not so easy to stop from screaming, 
D (xx0232@1)                                     BE BC 
But words escape me when i try to speak. 
Em (022000@1)Tears flow but why am I crying, 
C (x32010@1)After all I'm not afraid of dying. 
D (xx0232@1)                                        BE BC 
Don't I believe that there never is an end.

Em (022000@1)As the guards march me out to the courtyard, 
C (x32010@1)Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you". 
D (xx0232@1)                                        BE BC 
If there's a God then why has he let me go?

Em (022000@1)As I walk all my life drifts before me, 
C (x32010@1)Though the end is near I'm still not sorry. 
D (xx0232@1)                                     BE BC 
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away.

Em (022000@1)Mark my words believe my soul lives on. 
C (x32010@1)Don't worry now that I have gone. 
D (xx0232@1)I've gone beyond to see the truth.

Em (022000@1)When you know that your time is close at hand. 
C (x32010@1)Maybe then you'll begin to understand,
