[Verse 1]
Am Em C G
D Am Em
It was just a little while past the Sunset Strip
C G D
They found the girl's body in an open pit
Am
Her mouth was sewn shut,
Em
but her eyes were still wide
C G D
Gazin' through the fog to the other side
Am Em
They booked me on a whim and threw me deep in jail
With no bail,
C G D
sitting silent on a rusty pail
Am Em
Just gazin' at the marks on the opposite wall
C G D
Rememberin' the music of my lover's call,
yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em C G D Am
So, you make no mistake,
Em
I know just what it takes
C G D
To pull a man's soul back from Heaven's gates
Am Em
I've been wanderin' in the dark about as long as sin
C G D
But they say it's never too late to start again
[Chorus]
Am Em
Oh when, oh when
C G D
Will the spirit come acallin' 'fore my soul descend?
Am Em
Oh when, oh when
C G D
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
Am Em C G D Am Em
[Verse 2]
C G D Am
It was dark as the grave,
Em
it was just about three
C G D
When the warden with his key came to set me free
Am Em
They gave me five dollars and a secondhand suit
C G D
A pistol and a hat and a wornout flute
Am Em
So I took the bus down to the Rio Grande
C G D
And I shot a man down on the edge of town
Am
Then I stole me a horse,
Em
and I rode it around
C G D
'Til the sheriff pulled me in and sat me down
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
He said, "You make no mistake,
Em
I know just what it takes
C G D
To pull a man's soul back from Heaven's gates
Am Em
I've been wanderin' in the dark about as long as sin
C G D
But they say it's never too late to start again"
[Chorus]
Am Em
Oh when, oh when
C G D
Will the spirit come acallin' 'fore my soul descend?
Am Em
Oh when, oh when
C G D
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
Am Em C G D Am Em
[Verse 3]
C G D
Well,
Am Em
the sheriff let me go with a knife and a song
C G D
So I took the first train up to Oregon
Am Em
And I killed the first man that I came upon
C G D
'Cause the Devil works quick you know it don't take long
Am Em
Then I went to the river for to take a swim
C G
You know that Black River water,
D
it's as black as sin
Am Em
And I washed myself clean as a newborn babe
C G D
Then I picked up a rock for to sharpen my blade
[Chorus]
Am Em
Oh when, oh when
C G D
Will the spirit come acallin' 'fore my soul descend?
Am Em
Oh when, oh when
C G D
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
Am Em
Oh when, oh when
Well,
C G D
that Black River water washed me clean again
Am Em
Oh when, oh when
C G D
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
