Version 1 Version 2Em C D I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime. Em C D Em Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time. C D Em 'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows pole, C D Em The sands of time for me are running low. Em When the priest comes to read me the last rites, G C I take a look through the bars at the last sights, A D B E B C Of a world that has gone very wrong for me. Em Can it be that there's some sort of error. G C Hard to stop the surmounting terror. A D B E B C Is it really the end, not some crazy dream? Em Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming, C It's not so easy to stop from screaming, D B E B C But words escape me when i try to speak. Em Tears flow but why am I crying, C After all I'm not afraid of dying. D B E B C Don't I believe that there never is an end. Em As the guards march me out to the courtyard, C Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you". D B E B C If there's a God then why has he let me go? Em As I walk all my life drifts before me, C Though the end is near I'm still not sorry. D B E B C Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away. Em Mark my words believe my soul lives on. C Don't worry now that I have gone. D I've gone beyond to see the truth. Em When you know that your time is close at hand. C Maybe then you'll begin to understand, D B E B C Em Bm C Life down here is just a strangeillusion B Em A D G C A D Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... Hallowed Be Thy Name
