G
Well, theyʼre buildin the gallows outside my cell and Iʼve got 25
D
minutes to go. And the whole townʼs waitin just to hear me yell,
Iʼve got 24
G
minutes to go. Well, they gave me some beans for my last meal
with 23 minutes
D G
to go, but nobody asked me how I feel, Iʼve got 22 minutes to go.
Well, I
D
sent for the governor and the whole darn bunch with 21 minutes
to go, and I
G
called up the mayor but heʼs out to lunch, I got 20 more minutes
to go.
D
Then the sheriff said boy, Iʼm gonna watch you die with 19 minutes
to go, so
G E7
I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye with 18 minutes to go.
Now here
B
comes the preacher for to save my soul with 13 minutes to go,
and heʼs talkin
E7
bout burnin but Iʼm so cold, 12 more minutes to go. Well,
theyʼre testin the
B
trap and it chills my spine, 11 more minutes go, and the trap
and the rope,
E7
they work just fine, 10 more minutes to go. Well, Iʼm waitin
for the pardon
B
thatʼll set me free with 9 more minutes to go, but this ainʼt
the movies, so
E7 G
forget about me, 8 more minutes to go. With my feet on the trap
and my head
D
in the noose, 5 more minutes to go. Wonʼt somebody come
and cut me loose? 4
G
more minutes to go. I can see the mountain I can see the sky,
3 more minutes
D G
to go, and itʼs too darn pretty for a man to die,
2 more minutes to go. I can
D
see the buzzards, I can hear the crows, 1 more minute to go,
and now Iʼm swingin and here I goooooooooo...
