Hallowed Be Thy Name

[Em]  I'm waiting in my[C] cold cell, when th[D]e bell begins to chime.
[Em]  Reflecting on my [C]past life and it do[D]esn't have much time[Em].
[C]'Cause at 5 o'clock they [D]take me to the Gallows [Em]pole,
[C]The sands of time [D]for me are running [Em]low.

[Em]When the priest comes to read me the last rites,
[G]I [C]take a look through the bars at the last sights,
[A]Of[D] a world that has gone very wrong for me. [B]    [E]       [B]          [C]

[C]It's not so easy to stop from screaming,

[Em]Mark my words believe my soul lives on.

[D]Life down here is just a strangeillusion [B]   [E]     [B]       [C]          [Em]              [Bm]                  [C]
