Hallowed Be Thy Name chords by Iron Maiden

Chords with lyrics

I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime.
E minorEm         C majorC         D MajorD          E minorEm
 Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time.
C majorC            D MajorD           E minorEm
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows pole,
C majorC         D MajorD         E minorEm
The sands of time for me are running low.

E minorEm
When the priest comes to read me the last rites,
G+G C majorC
I take a look through the bars at the last sights,
A augmentedA D MajorD                     BB E MajorE BB C majorC
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me.
E minorEm
Can it be that there's some sort of error.
G+G C majorC
Hard to stop the surmounting terror.
A augmentedA D MajorD                    BB E MajorE BB C majorC
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?

E minorEm
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming,
C majorC
It's not so easy to stop from screaming,
D MajorD                    BB E MajorE BB C majorC
But words escape me when i try to speak.
E minorEm
Tears flow but why am I crying,
C majorC
After all I'm not afraid of dying.
D MajorD                     BB E MajorE BB C majorC
Don't I believe that there never is an end.

E minorEm
As the guards march me out to the courtyard,
C majorC
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you".
D MajorD                     BB E MajorE BB C majorC
If there's a God then why has he let me go?

E minorEm
As I walk all my life drifts before me,
C majorC
Though the end is near I'm still not sorry.
D MajorD                    BB E MajorE BB C majorC
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away.

E minorEm
Mark my words believe my soul lives on.
C majorC
Don't worry now that I have gone.
D MajorD
I've gone beyond to see the truth.

E minorEm
When you know that your time is close at hand.
C majorC
Maybe then you'll begin to understand,
D MajorD                    BB E MajorE BB C majorC E minorEm B minorBm C majorC
Life down here is just a strangeillusion

BB E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G C majorC A augmentedA D MajorD
