[Dm] I'm gonna break my heart, I'm gonna hope to die [C] before Lexington.
I could slow down, [G] I see the chariots waiting, when you get cut loose, [D] the place starts swinging
when it's me on the noose.
[Dm] Mother, do you think that your children cry, [C] because we want to shed your chain?
[G] I walk my house today, once for every year in my life, [D] in the stinking fucking rain.
