Okay, I want to play for you probably one of my favorite songs of his that he recorded
but it's never been recorded and I keep it all safeguarded here in this little shoe box and and I went through and and
Categorized all this music as you can see real fancy, but I want to play it for you.
It's my favorite one
[Abm]
[A] It's called my last [Ab] day
Now I feel no fear as I sit here
[Db] Though death is [Ab] close at hand [Eb] and it's with bitter gall at my thoughts recall [Db] how I
[Ab] Became this man as I wait before the chamber door
[Db] Well, it seems I can [Ab] hear the roll [Eb] of the drums of death and I feel it breath [Db] reach out
[Ab] my father had a
Had a collage put together
[Db] It was of Glenn Shirley and all going [A] Shirley's life and he [Eb] had hung up in his office for a long time [Db] I
Don't think it took [Ab] too long before he realized that he he wasn't
The wizard [D] I was gonna fix all these [Db] people and he started to withdraw
[Ab] But [Eb] the awful spell of a death row spell [Db] and go off as [Ab] he speaks
[Db] He praised and talked of the one who walked [Gb] upon the [Db] waters
pressed [Ab] up when he died how at his side [Gb] a common [Db] thief was blessed and
To adhere that Christ is [E] near [Gb] on this my [Db] last day [Ab] and he
Would cleanse away my sins [Gb] if I just [Db] kneel and pray
But death is pure and justice sure [Gb] by hatchet
[Db] Rope or gun [Ab] and I don't care to end with prayer [Gb] a race
That's [Db] all but wrong
So at the break I stopped the bank [Gb] of a cruel and [Db] painful youth
Of [Ab] how I roamed about with faith devout [Gb] in a fruitless quest [Db] for truth
[Eb] When I was young my heart got hung [Ab] and wife
[Eb] malicious snares [Bb] I was scorned and spurred until I learned [Ab] that no one [Eb] really cares
Either artful with my fall
hypocrites [Ab] if I both [Eb] God and laws
[Bb] So the money class the chief the mass [Ab] and the name of some [Eb] just [Ab] call
[Eb] And I was poor the social door [Ab] was slammed hard in [Eb] my face
[Bb] So my values change as I walk the [Ab] range from honor to [Eb] disgrace
Now again, I think of the rotten planks [Ab] on a cotton [Eb] farmer's shack
[Bb] Of the feudal prayers and the hostile stares [Ab] for a man whose [Eb] purse was slack
[Gb] Now the priest is sad but friends
I'm glad [B] that this is [Gb] my last day [Db] as they bind my hands with leather strands [B] the priest
[Gb] begins to pray at the foot of the stairs
He ends his prayers [B] with the words thy [Gb] will be done [Db] as he backs away
I can hear him say
[B] Prepare yourself [Gb] my son
Now the door has opened and the warden [B] spoken
Please [Gb] strap him in the chair
[Db] And as I walk close emotion [B] shows in the face of a [Gb] young guard there
His hand is on the telephone, [B] but there'll be no [Gb] reprieve or stay
[Db] Now the lever snaps on the sign I traps [B] to end this
[Gb] my last [Ebm] day
