Johnny Cash - 25 Minutes To Go - Annimated chords
Start Jamming...
They're building a [Ab] gallows outside my cell
And I've got 25 minutes [Eb] to go
And the whole town's waiting just to hear me yell
I got 24 minutes [Ab] to go
Well they gave me some beans for my last meal
But 23 minutes [Eb] to go
But nobody asked me how I feel
I got 22 minutes [Ab] to go
Well I said, for the governor and the whole darn bunch
With 21 [Db] minutes [Eb] to go
And I called up the mayor but he's out to lunch
I got 20 more [Bbm] minutes [Ab] to go
Then the sheriff said, boy I'm gonna watch you die
With 19 [Db] [D] minutes [Eb] to go
So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye
With 18 [Ab] minutes to go
[Abm] [F]
Now here comes a preacher for to save my soul
With 13 minutes [C] to go
And he's talking about burning but I'm so cold
12 more [F] minutes to go
Well they're testing the trap and it chills my spine
11 more minutes [C] to go
And the trap and the rope, oh they work just fine
10 more [G] minutes [F] to go
Well I'm waiting for the pardon that'll set me free
With 9 more minutes [C] to go
But this ain't the movie so forget about me
8 more minutes [F] to go
[Ab] With my feet on the trap and my head in the noose
5 more [Eb] minutes to go
Won't somebody come and cut me loose
[Ab] 11 more minutes to go
I can see the mountains, I can see the sky
But 3 more minutes to [Eb] go
And it's too darn pretty for a man to wanna die
2 more [Ab] minutes to go
I can see the buzzards, I can hear the crows
1 more minute [Eb] to go
And now I'm swinging and here I go
