The White Stripes

^A I'm in a women's prison
With ^D bars all a ^A round
I ^E caught my darlin' cheatin'
That's ^D when I shot him ^A down
I caught him in a honky-tonk
With a ^D girl I used to ^A know
The ^E door to my cell is open wide
D A Asus4 A /g A Asus4 A
And a voice cries out, "Oh, no!"
VERSE 2:
The ^A judge says I'm guilty
My ^D sentence is to ^A die
I ^E know I've been forgiven
But the ^D price of love is ^A high
CHORUS:
There's a ^D crowd outside screamin',
"Let that murderer ^A die"
But a ^D bove all their voices
I can hear my mama ^E cry
VERSE 3:
I'm ^A sittin' here on death row
And, ^D Lord, I've lost my ^A mind
For ^E love I've killed my darlin'
D A Asus4 A /g A Asus4 A
And for love I'll lose my life
VERSE 4:
I can ^Bb hear the warden coming
From the ^Eb clinging of his ^Bb keys
But ^F when they come to get me
They'll have to ^Eb drag me off my ^Bb knees
The door to my cell swings open
It's ^Eb time for me to ^Bb go
The ^F priest is readin' my last rights
He says, " ^Eb Dyin's part of livin', you ^Bb know"
CHORUS:
There's a ^Eb crowd outside screamin',
"Let that murderer ^Bb fry"
But a ^Eb bove all their voices
You can hear my mama ^F cry ^Bb
VERSE 5:
^Bb Now they've strapped me in the chair
And ^Eb covered up my eyes
And the ^F last voice I hear on Earth
Is my mama's ^Bb cry
"Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see"
