A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D#/G D#/G
These four walls of Farnworth
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D#/G D#/G
Are closin' in on me
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D#/G D#/G
My final meal is over

They're gonna to set me free
D# D# A# A#
I can feel the fires burning
D# D# A# A#
As the devil guards my door
D# D# Cm Cm
I hit my knees in search of Jesus
D# D# F F A# A#
On a cold jailhouse floor


A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D#/G D#/G
Lord now I'm singin'
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D#/G D#/G
Get me out of here
D# D#
I see the preacher's eyes
A#/B A#/B
As my daughter cries
Cm Cm F F
When they strap me in this chair
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D# D#
Lord I hope she forgives me
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D# D#
For livin' my life this way
A# A#
Tonight I'll ride the lightning
F F A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D#/G D#/G
To my final judgement day


A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D#/G D#/G
Every life owes a death
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D#/G D#/G
That's what the Bible says
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D#/G D#/G
I owe mine to this state
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D#/G D#/G
For shootin' that boy to death
D# D# A# A#
A A liquor store attendant
D# D# A# A#
He was reachin' for his gun
D# D# Cm Cm
Now his mama sits there smilin'
D# D# F F A# A#
As the boss yells, Roll on one

A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D# D#
And now I'm singin'
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D# D#
Get me out of here
D# D#
I see the preacher's eyes
A#/B A#/B
As my daughter cries
Cm Cm F F
When they strap me in this chair
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D# D#
I hope she forgives me
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D# D#
For leavin' her this way
A# A#
Tonight I'll ride the lightining

To my final resting place

Dm Dm D# D#
A A hungry blue-eyed baby cryin'
A# A#
Made me rob that store
Dm Dm D# D#
And as that boy lay there dyin'
A# A#
I dropped my pistol on the floor
D# D#
Yeah I'd take it all back
A#/B A#/B
But there's nothin' I can do
Cm Cm
They've covered my face
A#/B A#/B
And the order's gone through
D# D#
As the boss yells, Roll on two

A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D# D#
Now I'm flyin'
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D# D#
up and out of here
D# D# A#/B A#/B
I close my eyes and slowly rise
Cm Cm F F
Let my body leave this chair
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D# D#
Lord I hope you forgive me
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D# D#
For livin' my life this way
A# A#
Tonight I ride the lightning
F F D# D#
To my final resting place


A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D#/G D#/G
These four walls of Farnworth
A# A# A#maj7 A#maj7 D#/G D#/G A# A#
Are closin' in on me
