They�re building the gallows outside of my own cell. I�ve got 25 minutes to
B E
go. In 25 minutes I�ll be in hell, I�ve got 24 minutes to go. Well they gave
B
me some peas for my last meal with 23 minutes to go. And you know nobody�s
E
asking me oh how I feel I�ve got 22 minutes to go. So I wrote the Gov�nor and
B
the whole damn ???? with 21 minutes to go. And I called up the Mayor and you
E
know he�s out to lunch with 20 more minutes to go. And the Sheriff said �Boy,
B
I wanna watch you die� with 19 minutes to go. So I spit in his face and then I
E
kicked him in the eye with 18 minutes to go.
G D
Well I called to the warden to take my plea with 17 minutes to go. He says
G
�Call me back in a week or three� with 16 minutes to go. Well my lawyer says
D
he�s sorry and he�ll miss my case with 15 minutes to go. Well if you�re so
G
sorry then come and take my place with 14 minutes to go. Well he comes Padre
D
gonna set me free with 13 minutes to go. And I�m stuck in my bed and you know
G
I feel so fuckin cold with 12 more minutes to go. Now they�re testing the
D
trap, I�ve got chills down my spine with 11 more minutes to go. Cuz the god-
G
damn thing seems to work just fine with 10 more minutes to go. I�m waiting for
D
the pardon gonna set me free with 9 more minutes to go. But this ain�t the
G
movies so the hell with me with 8 more minutes to go.
A
Now I�m climbing up the ladder that the scaffolder built with 7 more minutes to
E A
go. I better watch my step before I break my leg with 6 more minutes to go.
With my feet on the trap and my head in the noose I�ve got 5 more minutes to
E A
go. Well come on someone and cut me loose I�ve got 4 more minutes to go. I
E
can see the mountains I can see the sky with 3 more minutes to go. And it�s
A
too damn pretty for a man to want to die with 2 more minutes to go. I can hear
E
the bush and I see the crows with 1 more minute to go. And now I�m swinging
here I go.
