D/A
There's a pale horse comin'
I'm gonna ride it
D/A
I'll rise in the morning
My fate decided
       G               D/A
I'm a dead man walkin'
       G
I'm a dead man walkin' D/A

D/A
In St. James Parish
I was born and christened
D/A
Now I've got my story
Mister no
G               D/A
need for you to listen
                  G          D/A
It's just a dead man talkin'
 
 G                     D/A
Once I had a job I had a girl
             G
But between our dreams and actions
           D/A
Lies this world

D/A
In the deep forest
Their blood and tears rushed over me
D/A
All I could feel was the drugs and the shotgun
               G            D/A
And my fear up inside of me
           G            D/A
Like a dead man talkin'

 G                                   D/A
'Neath a summer sky my eyes went black
G
Sister I won't ask for forgiveness
    A5            D/A
My sins are all I have

D/A
Now the clouds above my prison
Move slowly across the sky
D/A
There's a new day dawnin'

               A5                  D/A
And my dreams are full tonight...
