intro
Dm A x 7
G   D   F

verse 1
    A                         F       G       A
A priest joins the procession just to help me kneel
       Bm           C#m       D             Dm
with A warder at my elbow and another at my heel
A                              F         G      A
marching in the morning down A path i’ve lately seen
      Bm               C#m          D               Dm
i was sleeping in this garden ,  Am i still within my dream?
    A                           F       G     A
the echo of my heartbeat is the beating of A drum
    Bm               C#m          D            Dm
and all the earth is singing with life’s sweet hum
   A                        F        G         A
we filed in solemn silence ,  shuffled through A door
    Bm                  C#m           G             A
the place where life is taken for the letter of the law

chorus 
A                     D             E
shake the holy water ,  summon up the guard
B            A     G              F#m
dying’s very easy ,  waiting’s very hard

verse 2
F#m                                 Bm
A rope was hanging from the roof ,  A sight which puzzles me
  F#m                                B
i thought A gibbet and A guard would make A gallows tree
    E                            G
but now all is revealed ,  stamped there is the command
   A                                    B
my feet are on the trapdoor with A rope around my hand
    A                      F       G          A
and now the executioner is shaking hands with me
    Bm          C#m            D                  Dm
\"my duty i must carry out ,  you poor fellow , \" says he
  A                                 F     G     A
A rope is tied around my feet and A bag upon my head
    Bm                   C#m           D               Dm
and then the noose which separates the living from the dead

chorus

verse 3
F#m                                                   Bm
there he whispers to me \"have you anything to say?\"
       F#m                                            Bm
my mouth is dry ,  my throat is tight ,  i answer \"drop away\"
E                                                G
silence now surrounds me ,  my heart is beating on
       A                                                  B
the trapdoor hardly moves at all ,  my life is still my own

violin solo

A        F    G    A x8

A                                 F         G          A
they stand me in A corner with my hands and feet still bound
        Bm           C#m               D           Dm
while A carpenter is called for and an explanation found
     A                               F        G       A 
\"the rain has warped the timbers , \" i hear the hangman say
      Bm           C#m            D        Dm
\"it’s funny but it worked well ,  i tried it yesterday\"
F#m                                  Bm
\"all is mended now , \" they say ,  \"your ordeal’s nearly over
     F#m                             B
your life’s as good as ended , \" but i hear their voices waver
     E                            G
once more the bolt is shaken and again i hang in limbo
          A                                       B
while the guards jump on the trapdoor and my body stands on tip - toe

chorus

verse 4
     A                            F         G          A
they stand me in A corner with my hands and feet still tied
  Bm             C#m               D              Dm
A warder holds onto the noose ,  the trapdoor opens wide
      A                         F        G      A
is it magic or coincidence that keeps me on the brink?
   Bm                C#m              D               Dm
it seems to work without me ,  \"will it kill me now?\" i think
F#m                                Bm
\"please ,  i’m tired of living and i really want to die\"
      F#m                         B
i was taken to the scaffold and i heard the hangman cry
E                         G
\"lee ,  i’m truly sorry ,  forgive these hands of mine\"
   A                                        B
he threew the bolt and i felt the jolt the third and final time
   F#m                                  Bm
my life was spared that morning ’cos it wasn’t theirs to take
F#m                                  B
three’s the most the law requires ,  A man to feel the stake
