[Verse 1]
Dm C G
It was late one night in the heart of town I was drinking all alone
Dm F G
Ran out of cash when I paid my tab so I headed home
Dm C G
The night was black, the air was thick as I wandered passed a barn
F A Dm
Then a shot rang out and I heard a scream beside me in the dark
[Verse 2]
Dm C G
Afraid that maybe I’d be next I started to run
Dm F G
Just as fast as my feet would go into the barrel of a gun
Dm C G
The lawman’s light was blinding me he said why’d you do it son
F A Dm
Two weeks later in a criminal court I was up on murder one
[CHORUS]
F C G Dm
Maybe some early morning in a pasture of green
F C G Dm
Beside the still water I’ll awake from this dream- This terrible dream
[Verse 3]
Dm C G
Well I sat there in the courtroom as the tears ran down my face
Dm F G
A guilty man is free somewhere and they put me in his place
Dm C G
The jury read the verdict and the judge called out my name
F A Dm
He said young man you’ll spend your life wearing the ball and chain
[Verse 4]
Dm C G
Now I’m staring at the ceiling as I lay here on my bed
Dm F G
Fourteen long and lonely years it’s where I laid my head
Dm C G
Behind these cold gray prison walls time sure passes slow
F A Dm
And I unless I die tomorrow I’ve still got life to go
[CHORUS]
F C G Dm
Maybe some early morning in a pasture of green
F C G Dm
Beside the still water I’ll awake from this dream- This terrible dream
[Verse 5]
Dm C G
A man who’s lost his vision will live and die alone
Dm F G
In the cold walls of this prison my heart has turned to stone
Dm C G
The lights are growing dimmer as I take my final breath
F A Dm
I can smell the air of freedom as I close my eyes in death
[CHORUS]
F C G Dm
Maybe some early morning in a pasture of green
F C G Dm
Beside the still water I’ll awake from this dream- This terrible dream
