[Verse]
F#m Em D
The time is near for things to pass
G F#
The time for me to leave
Bm A
But as I lie here all alone
G F#
I really can't believe
Bm A
That twenty years I've spent on earth
G F#
Would end in so much grief
Bm A
That the many friendly faces
G F# Bm
Should now stare hatefully
[Verse]
G D
A letter home to mother
G F#
And a letter home to dad
Bm A
Another to my sweetheart
G F#
For whom I feel so sad
Bm A
A lock of hair to cling to
G F#
Is all, all that will remain
Bm A
And the grave inside this prison yard
G F# Bm
A stone that bears no name
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G D
My trials and tribulations
G F#
Are nearly now all gone
Bm A
A murderer I never was
G F#
And my spirit will live on
Bm A
Jesus, help me in this troubled time
G F#
This hour of trouble deep
Bm A
Help me find my peace of mind
G F# Bm
Help me lord, to sleep
