Am It alEml began when they took me from Ammy home and put me on Em
Death Row, a Amcrime for which I?m totally innocent,Em you know. Am Em
Am I began to warmEm and chill to Amobjects aEmnd their fields,
Am a ragged cup, a twisted Emmop, the fAmace of Jesus in my soup, Em
Am those sinister dinEmner deals, the Ammeal trolley's wicked wheels,Em
Am a hooked bone risingEm from my food,
Am and all things either good or uEmngood.
Am And the mercy seat is waiting, and I thinkE my head is burning,
C and in a way I'm yearning to be done with all this Gweighing of the truth. Bb
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,
and anyway I told the truth, and I'm Fnot afraid to die. Am Em Am Em
Am I hear stories from the chamber, ChrEist was born into a manger, C
and like some ragged stranger he died upon the cross. G
Might I say Bbit seems so fitting in its way,
he was a carpenter by trade, or at leaFst that's what I'm told. Am Em Am Em
Am My kill-hands tatooEmed E.V.I.L. acrosAms it's brother's fisEmt,
Am that filthy fEmive! They did nothiAmng to challenge or resist. Em
Am In Heaven His throne is made of gold, E
the ark of His Testament is stowed, C
a throne from which I'm told all history does unfolGd.
It's maBbde of wood and wire, and my body is on fire
F and God is never far away. Am
Into the mercy seat I climb, my headE is shaved, my head is wired, C
and like a moth that tries to enter the brighGt eye,
I go shufBbfling out of life, just to hide in death a while,
F and anyway I never lied. Am
And the mercy seat is waiting, and I think mEy head is burning,
C and in a way I'm yearning to be done with all this Gweighing of the truth. Bb
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,
and anyway I told the truth, and I'm Fnot afraid to die. Am
And the mercy seat is burning, and I think my Ehead is glowing,
C and in a way I'm hoping to be done with all thisG twisting of the truth. Bb
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,
and anyway there was no proof, and I'm not afrFaid to die. Am
And the mercy seat is glowing, and I think myE head is smoking,
C and in a way I'm hoping to be done with all thesGe looks of disbelief. Bb
A life for a life, and a truth for a truth,
and I?ve got nothing left to lose, and I?m Fnot afraid to die. Am
And the mercy seat is smoking, and I think my hEead is melting,
C and in a way that?s helping to be done with all this Gtwisting of the truth. Bb
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,
and anyway I told the truth, but I?m Fafraid I told a lie. Am
