A#          A#maj7    D#/G
These four walls of Farnworth
A#           A#maj7 D#/G 
Are closin' in on me 
A#        A#maj7   D#/G
My final meal is over
A#                A#maj7  D#/G 
They're gonna to set me free
      D#              A# 
I can feel the fires burning
       D#               A# 
As the devil guards my door
         D#                  Cm 
I hit my knees in search of Jesus
     D#    F         A# 
On a cold jailhouse floor

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


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

            A#   A#maj7  D#
And now I'm singin'
              A#  A#maj7  D# 
Get me out of here 
          D#
I see the preacher's eyes

I hope she forgives me 
    A#       A#maj7    D# 
For leavin' her this way
A#        
Tonight I'll ride the lightining
      F             D#
To my final resting place
 
Dm                 D#  
A hungry blue-eyed baby cryin'
        A# 
Made me rob that store 
Dm              D#
And as that boy lay there dyin'
             A#
I dropped my pistol on the floor
         D#
Yeah I'd take it all back
                    A#/B 
But there's nothin' I can do 
                Cm
They've covered my face
                A#/B 
And the order's gone through
            D# 
As the boss yells, Roll on two 

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


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