Well, they're building a [Ab] gallows outside my cell, and I've got [Eb] 25 minutes to go.
And the whole [Bb] town's waiting [Eb] just to hear me yell, I got 24 minutes to [Ab] go.
Well, they gave me some beans for my last meal, but 23 minutes to [Eb] go.
But nobody asked me how I feel, I got 22 minutes [Ab] to go.
Well, I said, for the governor and the whole darn bunch, but 21 [Db] minutes [Eb] to go.
And I called up the mayor, but he's out to lunch, I got 20 more minutes [Ab] to go.
Then the sheriff said, boy, I'm gonna watch you die with 19 [Db] minutes [Eb] to go.
So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye with 18 minutes [Ab] to go.
[Abm] [F] Now here comes a preacher for to save my soul with 13 minutes to [C] go.
And he's talking about burning, but I'm so cold, 12 more minutes [F] to go.
Well, they're testing the trap and it chills my spine, 11 more minutes [C] to go.
And the trap and the rope, oh, they work just fine, 10 more minutes [F] to go.
Well, I'm waiting for the pardon that'll set me free with nine more minutes to [C] go.
But this ain't the movie, so forget about me, eight more minutes [F] to go.
[Ab]
Put my feet on the trap and my head in the noose, five more [Eb] minutes to go.
Want somebody come and cut me loose, seven [D] more minutes [Ab] to go.
I can see the mountains, I can see the sky, but three more minutes [Eb] to go.
And it's too darn pretty for a man to want to die, two more minutes [Ab] to go.
I can see the buzzards, I can hear the crows, one more minute [Eb] to go.
And now I'm swinging and here I go.
