[E]
[B]
[B] [E] But I walked in the pouring rain And [B] [F#] [E] I heard the voice that cries [B] its [E] own in
vain The [F#] [C#m]
face of doom [G#] was [B]
shining in my room
[G#m]
I just need [F#] one day [G#m] Somewhere far [F#] away
[B] [F#] [G#m]
Lord, I just need one [B] day But I'll be breaking these rocks
[E] [F#] Until [E] the gates are [B] cut Cutting this hay
[E] Until the gates are [B] cut Yes, I'll be breaking these [E] rocks
[F#] Until [E] the gates [B] are cut My sweet [E] babe
The river's so muddy But [B] it makes [E] it clear
And I know too well [B] What's [E] keeping me here
[C#m]
I'm just a slave [G#] to [B] the burning rays
[G#m] Give me [F#] the night [G#] I can't [G#m] take another [F#] sight
[G#m] Please give me [F#] the night
[B] But I'll be breaking these rocks Until the gates are cut
[B] And cutting this hay [E] Until [F#] the [E] gates are [B] cut
Yes, I'll be breaking these [E] rocks Until [F#] the gates are [B] cut
What's my price today [E] Until [F#] the [G#] gates are cut
The sun keeps beating [G#m] down [D#m] The walls are a mile high
[G#m]
[C#m] Up in the tower, they're watching me [F#] Hoping I'm gonna die
[B] But I'll open these [E] cells I [B] won't be breaking the [E] [F#] rock
[E]
[B] I said I'll open these [E] cells [B] I won't hear their [E] call
[B] I'm going up for pardon [E]
[B] For pardon me
[E] [F#] [E]
[B] I won't be breaking no [E] rock [B] I won't be breaking no [E] rock
[F#] [E]
[B] I won't be breaking no [E] rock Until
[B] the gates are [E] [F#] [E]
[B] [E]
[B] cut
I won't hear their [E] call [B] I won't hear their call
[F#] I [E]
[B] won't hear their [F#] call [B]
I won't hear their call
[E]
