The Rolling Of The Hearse (Nikki Sudden)
Capo 2nd fret
INTRO: C Em F G (2x)
C Em
Well, I went up to the jury
F G
And I said, "What is the cost
C Em
For forgetting you ever saw me,
F G
I can replace what has been lost?
Am Dm
Don't believe all the things they say,
Am Dm
It's only going to get worse."
C Em
But they just looked straight through me
F G
And they muttered out their curse.
C Em
I was taken from the courtroom
F G
And chained into a cell,
C Em
And the straw that I slept on
F G
Was the only thing I knew well.
Am Dm
But, I didn't believe
Am Dm
Things could get worse,
C Em
Until I heard them building the scaffold
F G
And the rolling of the hearse.
C Em
They took me from my prison
F G
Out into the cold grey dawn
C Em
And the faces at ev'ry window
F G
Were as silent as the corn.
Am Dm
Then they put me on the scaffold
Am Dm
And told me to close my eyes,
C Em
But I saw Gabriel coming
F G
And I vanished from their sight.
C Em F G (2x)
Am Dm
The prison yard it is empty,
Am Dm
The guards have all gone home,
C Em
The hearse it stands forgotten
F G
And the wind whispers my song.
C Em F G (6x)
END in C
