Em C D
I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime.
Em C D Em
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time.
C D Em
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows pole,
C D Em
The sands of time for me are running low.
Em
When the priest comes to read me the last rites,
G C
I take a look through the bars at the last sights,
A D B E B C
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me.
Em
Can it be that there's some sort of error.
G C
Hard to stop the surmounting terror.
A D B E B C
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?
Em
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming,
C
It's not so easy to stop from screaming,
D B E B C
But words escape me when i try to speak.
Em
Tears flow but why am I crying,
C
After all I'm not afraid of dying.
D B E B C
Don't I believe that there never is an end.

Em
As the guards march me out to the courtyard,
C
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you".
D B E B C
If there's a God then why has he let me go?
Em
As I walk all my life drifts before me,
C
Though the end is near I'm still not sorry.
D B E B C
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away.
Em
Mark my words believe my soul lives on.
C
Don't worry now that I have gone.
D
I've gone beyond to see the truth.
Em
When you know that your time is close at hand.
C
Maybe then you'll begin to understand,
D B E B C Em Bm C
Life down here is just a strangeillusion
B Em A D G C A D
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... Hallowed Be Thy Name
