Dead Man Walkin'

 
              D/A 
There's a pale horse comin' 
I'm gonna ride it 
D/A 
I'll rise in the morning 
My fate decided 
       G               D/A 
I'm a dead man walkin' 
       G 
I'm a dead man walkin' D/A 
 
 
D/A 
In St. James Parish 
I was born and christened 
D/A 
Now I've got my story 
Mister no 
G               D/A 
need for you to listen 
                  G          D/A 
It's just a dead man talkin' 
 
  
 G                     D/A 
Once I had a job I had a girl 
             G 
But between our dreams and actions 
           D/A 
Lies this world 
 
 
D/A 
In the deep forest 
Their blood and tears rushed over me 
D/A 
All I could feel was the drugs and the shotgun 
               G            D/A 
And my fear up inside of me 
           G            D/A 
Like a dead man talkin' 
 
 
 G                                   D/A 
'Neath a summer sky my eyes went black 
G 
Sister I won't ask for forgiveness 
    A5            D/A 
My sins are all I have 
 
  
 
D/A 
Now the clouds above my prison 
Move slowly across the sky 
D/A 
There's a new day dawnin' 
 
 
               A5                  D/A 
And my dreams are full tonight...
