Beyond The Last Mile

F     G    C

[Verse 1]
C                               
I'm watching the clock tick the 
C7     F
hours away
     G7                         
They say that I will hang at the 
             C
dawn of the day
But why should I fear death when 
C7         F
it's life anew
    G7                             
For dying only takes me much closer
    C
 to you

[Verse 2]
                         C7        
You left me in anger and walked by 
    F
the sea
    G7                             
And when they found your body they 
             C
blamed it on me
But you know they were wrong dear so
 C7          F
 wait for a while

[Verse 3]
    C                             
The stars hide their face to make 
C7          F
way for the sun
G7                                
Death it'll soon claim me and make
       C
 us as one
                             C7    
While others are walking the 
         F
streets with a smile
G7                                
Then I will be walking beyond the 
     C
last mile

[Verse 4]
C                      C7         
The jury agreed I have taken your 
F
life
    G7                           
The sentence that they gave me it 
            C
cut like a knife
                         C7        
But I'll face my Maker today with a
 F
 smile
  G7                               
I know that you'll be waiting 
           C
beyond the last mile

[Verse 5]
                           C7      
The chaplain is making his last 
     F
plea to God
G7                           
Soon the numbered steps to the 
                C
scaffold I'll trod
                               C7  
My footsteps won't falter I'll walk
        F
 with a smile
  G7                               
I know that you'll be waiting 
           C    C
beyond the last mile
