Chords for David Allan Coe - Death Row - Live 1974

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Thank you very much.
_ In 1967, _ I was released from the Ohio State Penitentiary. _ _
_ _ After serving 20 years and 17 days, _ _ _ _ I did one year on parole.
In 1968, I went to Nashville, Tennessee,
where I made my first record album.
It was called Penitentiary Blues.
It was all songs that I'd written while I was on death row. _ _ _
This is one of those songs.
Some people call it the last meal.
I call the song Death Row. _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sitting here on death [Gm] row, behind [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ a ton of steel.
_ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ And I said before I die, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I got to eat my last meal.
_ _ _ [C] [G] I want a double yogurt from a nail-bind old pigeon
with fried bat wings over easy.
Left hind leg of a black giraffe,
put medium rare, not too [C] greasy.
[G] Fried rhinoceros pickled in needles
in a plate of elephant stew.
_ One man draped in a rabbit's tongue
and a John Conroy award. _ _
_ [C] _ Now you know just [G] how I feel. _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [D] I'll be ready to die now [C] just as soon as I eat my [Gm] last meal. _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A#] _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ [D] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I want fresh teardrops from a new-born [Gm] child
in a culminating timber tube.
If you can't get that, try a stewed polecat
smothered with catfish, [C] bro.
[G] Take the ears from a [C] rat-tailed monkey,
[G] mix with a spider's left eye.
_ Make me a salad of jungle roots from Africa.
And [Em] I'll be ready [D] to die, [C] oh, Walter.
_ _ _ Now you know just [Gm] how I feel. _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] I'll be ready to die [C] now just as soon [A#] as I eat my [Gm] last meal.
_ [G] _ _ _ [C#] _ [G] _ _ _
