There's a pale horse comin'
And I'm gonna ride it
I'll rise in the morning
With my fate beside it
        G               D
I'm a dead man walkin'
        G               D
I'm a dead man walkin'

D
In Saint James Parish
I was born and Christened
How I've got my story
Well Mister, there ain't no need
G               D
for you to listen
                 G               D
It's just a dead man talkin'

G                       D
Once I had a job, I had a girl
            G
But between our dreams
                     D
and action lie this world

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

G
Beneath the summer sky
                  D
my eyes went black
G
Sister, I won't ask for forgiveness,
      A          D
my sins are all I have

D
Tonight the clouds above my prison
Move slowly 'cross the sky
There is a new day comin'
                A                          D
And my dreams are full tonight.
