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



[Verse 2]
    A                       
The judge says I'm guilty my 
 D              A
sentence is to die

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



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