Johnny Cash - 25 minutes to go chords
Start Jamming...
[Fm] Well, they're [Ab] building a gallows outside my cell
And I've got 25 minutes [Eb] to go
And the whole town's waiting just to hear me yell.
I got
24 minutes [Ab] to go
Well, they gave me some beans for my last meal
23 minutes [Eb] to 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] [Eb] minutes to go
And I called up the mayor, but he's out to lunch.
I got 20 more [Ab] minutes 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 [Bb] face [Eb] and I spit in his eye with 18 minutes [Ab] to go
[F]
Now here comes the preacher for to save my soul with 13 minutes [C] to go
And he's talking about burning, but I'm so cold
12 more minutes [F] to go
Well, they're testing the trout band.
It chills my spine
11 more minutes to [C] go
And the trout and the rope all 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 [C] to go
But this ain't the movie so forget about me
eight more minutes [F] to go
[Ab] With my feet on the trap and my head in the news
five more minutes [Eb] to go
Want somebody come and cut me loose?
seven 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 wanna 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
