D Thereʼs a pale horse cominʼ And Iʼm gonna ride it Iʼll rise in the morning With my fate beside it G D Iʼm a dead man walkinʼ G D Iʼm a dead man walkinʼ D In Saint James Parish I was born and Christened How Iʼve got my story Well Mister, there ainʼt no need G D for you to listen G D Itʼs just a dead man talkinʼ G D Once I had a job, I had a girl G But between our dreams D and action lie this world D Well, in the deep forest Their blood and tears rushed over me All I could feel was the drugs and the shotgun G D And my fear up inside me G D Like a dead man talkinʼ G Beneath the summer sky D my eyes went black G Sister, I wonʼt ask for forgiveness, A D my sins are all I have D Tonight the clouds above my prison Move slowly ʼcross the sky There is a new day cominʼ A D And my dreams are full tonight.
