F#m Dead man walking We've all been detained For the crimes we've committed They stayed execution But we'll never get acquitted Waiting for the day when they strap us in And when they pull the lever Hear the goddamn screams C#m Shake with fear Electric chair We're all inside Homicide related They'll show no mercy And we don't anticipate it We move a little closer Every day to meet our maker They cover up our face And then they close the circuit breaker Shake with fear The end is near Chorus: F#m Oh no, I won't go G You'll never get me down to A F#m C Death row D#m Oh come on man Give me a break I made one mistake, that's all it takes Shake with fear C#m The end is near Chorus: Oh no, I won't go You'll never get me down to Death row Oh no, they're taking me slow One way ticket to Death row C#m So what's the matter, son Too young to die Take it like a man Don't cry Chorus: Oh no, I won't go You'll never get me down to Death row Say a prayer, best beware It's not very nice In the electric chair Oh no, I won't go You'll never get me down to Death row Oh no, they're taking me slow One way ticket to Death row You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA C C#m D#m F#m G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
