G#m                               C#m
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
    G#m                         D#7
And I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all
        G#m                          C#m
And my mind and my gun they comfort me
           G#m              D#7               G#m
Because I know I'll kill my enemies when they come

Surely goodness and mercy will follow
me all the days of my life
And I will dwell on this earth forevermore
Still, I walk beside the still waters,
and they restore my soul
But I can't walk on the path of
the right because I'm wrong

Well, I came upon a man at the top of a hill
Called himself the savior of the human race
Said he come to save the world from destruction
and pain
But I said, "How can you save the world
from itself?"

'Cause I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death
And I'll fear no evil because I'm blind
Oh, and I walk beside the still waters,
and they restore my soul
But I know when I die, my soul is damned
