VERSE 1:
  A augmentedA            D MajorD     A augmentedA
I'm in a women's prison with bars all around
 E MajorE                D MajorD         A augmentedA
I caught my darlin cheatin that's when I shot him down
 A augmentedA                 D MajorD       A augmentedA
I caught him in a honky-tonk with a girl I used to know
  E MajorE                 D MajorD         A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
The door to my cell is open wide and a voice cries out oh no


VERSE 2:
  A augmentedA            D MajorD       A augmentedA
The judge says I'm guilty my sentence is to die
 E MajorE                D MajorD        A augmentedA
I know I've been forgiven but the price of love is high
    D MajorD                      A augmentedA
As the crowd outside is screamin' let the murderer die
  D MajorD                     E MajorE E7E7 E13E13 E7*
But above all their voices I can hear my mama cry
  A augmentedA               D MajorD         A augmentedA
I'm sittin' here on death row and Lord I've lost my mind
  E MajorE                 D MajorD         A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
For love I've killed my darlin and for love I'll lose my life


VERSE 3:
   Bb majorBb               Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
I can hear the warden coming from the clinging of his keys
  FF                   Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
But when they come to get me he'll have to drag me off my knees
  Bb majorBb                Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
The door to my cell swings open it's time for me to go
  FF                    Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb
The priest is reading my last rights he says dying's part of livin' ya know
       Eb MajorEb                    Bb majorBb
And there's a crowd outside screamin' let that murderer fry
  Eb MajorEb                     FF  F7F7 F13F13 F7*
But above all their voices you can hear my mama cry
      Bb majorBb              Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
Now they've strapped me in the chair and covered up my eyes
    FF             Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
And the last voice I hear on Earth is my mama's cry


OUTRO:
Bb majorBb
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
Bb majorBb
I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see
