Strum
D-DU-UDU
 A little girl lost.  Her world full of pain
 He said it feels good.  So she gave him her vein
 The dope made her numb.  And numb felt like free
 Until she came down,  down, down to a new misery
 A junkie, a whore  living for the next high
 She'd lie, cheat and steal.  She forgot how to cry
 Wide awake for two weeks  shooting heroin then speed
 When she killed him in cold,  cold blood, all she felt was her need
Now,  it's an eye for an eye  and you're gonna die
 It's a tooth for a tooth,  your moment of truth.
 There's no mercy here.  Your stay is denied
 You better pray,  pray, pray you find mercy in the sky
 Alone in her cell. No dope in her veins
 The killer'd become little girl lost again
 She fell to her knees. She prayed she would die
 On the cold cement floor she finally cried
 And love came like the wind. And Love whispered her name
 And love reached through and held her. Love lifted her pain
 Fifteen years on death row. Her faith deeper each day
 Her last words were "I love you all!" Good-bye, Karla Faye
 Now it's an eye for an eye, and you're gonna die
 It’s a tooth for a tooth, your moment of truth
 There's no mercy here. Your stay is denied
 You better pray,pray,pray you find mercy in the sky

A little girl l[D]ost. Her world full of p[G]ain
He said it feels g[A]ood. So she gave him her v[D]ein
The dope made her n[D]umb. And numb felt like fr[G]ee
Until she came d[A]own, down, down to a new miser[D]y

A junkie, a wh[D]ore living for the next h[G]igh
She'd lie, cheat and st[A]eal. She forgot how to cr[D]y
Wide awake for two we[D]eks shooting heroin then sp[G]eed
When she killed him in c[A]old, cold blood, all she felt was her n[D]eed

Alone in her cell. No dope in her veins
The killer'd become little girl lost again
She fell to her knees. She prayed she would die
On the cold cement floor she finally cried

And love came like the wind. And Love whispered her name
And love reached through and held her. Love lifted her pain
Fifteen years on death row. Her faith deeper each day
Her last words were "I love you all!" Good-bye, Karla Faye

Now it's an eye for an eye, and you're gonna die
It’s a tooth for a tooth, your moment of truth
There's no mercy here. Your stay is denied
You better pray,pray,pray you find mercy in the sky
