_ [G] _ [Dm] Well, it was just a little while [Am] past the sunset strip,
[C] Found a girl's body in [G] an open pit,
[Dm] Her mouth was soaked shut, but her [Am] eyes were still white,
Gazing [C] through the fog to [G] the other side,
[Dm] They booked me on a [Am] whim and threw me deep in jail,
[F] With no pay, sitting silent [G] on a rusted pail,
[Dm] Just gazing at the marks in the [Am] opposite wall,
[C] Remembering the music of [G] my lover's call, [Dm] yeah, _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ So [Dm] you make no mistake, [Am] I know just what it takes,
To pull [F] a man's soul back [G] from heaven's gates,
I've been [Dm] wandering in the dark about [Am] as long as sin,
But they say it's [C] never too late [G] to start [D] again,
Oh, when, [Dm] oh, [Am] when,
[F] Will the spirit [C] come a-callin' [D] for my soul to send,
[Dm] Oh, when, oh, [Am] when,
[F] Will the keys to the [G] kingdom be mine [Dm] again? _ _

[G] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [F] Well, it was [Dm] dark as the grave, [Am] it was just about three,
When the warden [C] with his key [G] came to set me free,
[Dm] They gave me five dollars [Am] and a second-hand suit,
[F] A pistol and a hat [G] and a worn-out flute,
[Dm] So I took the bus [Am] down to the Rio Grande,
And I shot a [C] man down on [G] the edge of town,
[Dm] Then I stole me a horse and [Am] I rode it around,
[F] Till the sheriff [C] pulled me in and he sat me _ down,
He said, you [Dm] make no mistake, I know just [Am] what it takes,
[F] To pull a man's soul back [G] from heaven's gates,
I've [Dm] been wandering in the [Am] dark about as long as sin,
[F] But they say [C] it's never too late [G] to start again,
Oh, [Dm] when, _ [A] oh, when,
[F] Will the spirit [C] come a-callin' [D] for my soul to send,
[Dm] Oh, when, [Am] oh, when,
_ [F] Will the [C] keys to the [G] kingdom be mine _ [Dm] again?
_ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ Well, [Dm] the sheriff let me go with a [Am] knife and a saw,
So I took the first train [G] up to Oregon,
And [Dm] I killed the first man that I came upon,
[F] Cause the devil works quick, [G] you know it don't take long,
_ Then [Dm] I went to the river for to take a swim,
You know that [C] black river water, [G] it's as black as sin,
[Dm] And I washed myself clean as a newborn babe,
[F] Then I picked up a rock [G] and photoshopped my plate,
[Dm] Oh, when, oh, [Am]
when,
[F] Will the spirit [C] come a-callin' for [D] my soul to send,
Oh, [Dm] when, _ [Am] oh, when,
Will [F] the keys to the kingdom [G] be mine again?
[Dm] Oh, when, [Am] oh, when,
[F] Will that black [C] river water wash me [A] clean again?
[Dm] Oh, when, _ [Am] oh, when,
[F] Will the [C] keys to the kingdom be [G] mine again?
