Verse 1:
Dm Gm
Good Lord, my faith is fading,
Dm A
It seems all Hell has come a-knocking at my door,
Dm Gm
Iโm gonna sleep with one eye open,
Dm A Dm
It seems clear, you donโt come around here no more.
Dm Gm
Lord, Iโve played the hand you gave me,

Lord, I played until my gambling days were done,
Dm Gm
My enemies are gonna feel my heartache,
Dm A Dm
Blazing down the barrel of my gun.
Chorus:

Nails in the Churches,

Nails in the dust,

Nails in the coffins,

In peace we may rust,

Verse 2:
Dm
Now my heart is scarred and twisted,
Gm
Like the roses on the graves,
Dm
Buried, like each sorry fool,
A
Standing in my way,

Iโm held in chains of darkness,
Gm
Thereโs only ashes in my bowl,
Dm A
Iโll save a bullet for the devil,
Dm
When he comes to take my soul
