[Verse 1]
    A                        D         A
I'm in a women's prison with bars all around
  E                               D                 A
I caught my darlin cheatin that's when I shot him down
  A                                 D              A
I caught him in a honky-tonk with a girl I used to know
    E                                  D                  A  Asus4 A Asus4 A
The door to my cell is open wide and a voice cries out oh no


[Verse 2]
    A                        D              A
The judge says I'm guilty my sentence is to die
  E                               D                A
I know I've been forgiven but the price of love is high
       D                                           A
As the crowd outside is screamin' let the murderer die
    D                                         E  E7 E13 E7*
But above all their voices I can hear my mama cry
    A                             D                 A
I'm sittin' here on death row and Lord I've lost my mind
    E                                  D                 A    Asus4 A Asus4 A
For love I've killed my darlin and for love I'll lose my life


[Verse 3]
      Bb                              Eb              Bb
I can hear the warden coming from the clinging of his keys
    F                                      Eb             Bb
But when they come to get me he'll have to drag me off my knees
    Bb                               Eb             Bb
The door to my cell swings open it's time for me to go
    F                                        Eb                        Bb
The priest is reading my last rights he says dying's part of livin' ya know
              Eb                                        Bb
And there's a crowd outside screamin' let that murderer fry
    Eb                                          F   F7 F13 F7*
But above all their voices you can hear my mama cry
            Bb                           Eb            Bb
Now they've strapped me in the chair and covered up my eyes
        F                          Eb           Bb
And the last voice I hear on Earth is my mama's cry


[Otro]
Bb
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
Bb
I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see
