🎸 Verse 1:
F#7              Asus2
What'd I miss, a life to save?
      F#sus4           F#7
To my memories, I have been a slave
F#7                 Asus2
Can't sleep for the radio
    F#sus4                F#7
Red Christmas lights from Mexico


🎸 Chorus: 
F#7               Asus2
Oh, to drink that dirty water
F#sus4          F#7
Oh, to sleep in burning sand
F#             Asus2
Oh, to just protect my children
F#sus4            F#7             A  F#sus4  F#7
Death drums beat along the river
🎸 Verse 2:
F#7               Asus2
Dear Lord, do you come to take me?
F#sus4             F#7
Spare me over 'til New Year's morning
F#7                Asus2
One last night and I'll be ready
F#sus4                   F#7
But now I'm shaking so unsteady


🎸 Chorus: 
F#7     Asus2
I would ride a camel
F#sus4  F#7
I will  hitch a ride
F#7               Asus2
Three men walk up to a manger
    F#sus4      F#7
And hear a baby start to cry


🎸 Verse 3:
F#7                Asus2
What did I have? A razor blade
     F#sus4           F#7
To a life of crime, I was a slave
F#7           Asus2
That infernal constant static
F#sus4             F#7
Turned from layman to fanatic


🎸 Chorus: 
F#7             Asus2
Oh, to bathe in dirty water
F#sus4           F#7
Oh, to find some shade to sleep
F#7               Asus2
Oh, to reach that foreign country
F#sus4            F#7
Death drums beat along the river
F#7    Asus2                      F#sus4   F#7
       Death drums beat along the river


🎸 Interlude: 
F#7  Asus2  F#sus4 F#7


🎸 Verse 4:
F#7              Asus2
Lord, I feel you here to take me
F#sus4          F#7
You are here to take me home
F#7                Asus2
Can you spare some ayahuasca
F#sus4              F#7
I won't want to go alone


🎸 Chorus: 
F#7               Asus
I swear I'll come over
         F#sus4        F#7
I'll not miss my final ride
F#7                          Asus
I'll stash myself in transportation
           F#sus4         F#7
I will not miss my day to die
F#7    Asus2                   F#sus4  F#7
     I will not miss my day to die


🎸 Interlude: 
F#7  Asus2  F#sus4 F#7


🎸 Verse 6:
F#7                Asus2
What did I see? A life to save
      F#sus4         F#7
To my memories I had been a slave
F#7                 Asus2
Can't sleep for the radio
    F#sus4                F#7
And Christmas lights from Mexico


🎸 Chorus: 
F#7           Asus2
Oh, to wear a clean suit
F#sus4          F#7
Oh, to say that I am sorry
F#7           Asus2
Oh, to step upon the gallows
F#sus4            F#7
Death drums beat along the river
F#7  Asus2                      F#sus4  F#7
     Death drums beat along the river
F#7
Death drums beat along the river
Asus2             F#sus4          F#7
Death drums beat along the river


🎸 Outro: 
F#7                Asus2
What did I hear? A life to save
