Текст песни Johnny Cash - Mercy Seat

I'm a lazy guitar player so I wrote the whole song out for ya.

Standard tuning - EADGBe

Simply  ,   repeated

These are put before some of the chord changes, the song sounds fine without them.

Chords
  AmMaj7              

(The parts that don't have the chords, is to be played like the chorus)

It ALL began when they come took me from my home
And put me on Death Row,
a crime for which I am totally innocent, you know.

I began to warm and chill
To objects and their fields,
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
The face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner deals
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
A hooked bone rising from my food
All things either good or ungood.

And the mercy seat is waiting
AmMaj7
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this weighing of the truth.

An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.

I hear stories from the chamber
AmMaj7
Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
He died upon the cross. Might I say, 
it seems so fitting in its way 
He was a carpenter by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told

 /  /  / 

My kill-hand's tatooed .V.I.L. 
across it's brother's fist
That filthy five! 
They did nothing to challenge or resist.

				AmMaj7
In Heaven His throne is made of gold
The ark of his Testament is stowed

A throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold.
It's made of wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away.

			AmMaj7
Into the mercy seat I climb
My head is shaved, my head is wired

And like a moth that tries
To enter the bright eye
I go shuffling out of life
Just to hide in death awhile
And anyway I never lied.

And the mercy seat is waiting
AmMaj7                       
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this weighing of the truth. 

An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is burning
AmMaj7                 
And I think my head is glowing
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all this twisting of the truth.

An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway there was no proof
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is glowing
AmMaj7                       
And I think my head is smoking
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all these looks of disbelief.

A life for a life
And a truth for a truth
And I've got nothing left to lose
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is smoking
AmMaj7                       
And I think my head is melting
And in a way that's helping
To be done with all this twisting of the truth

An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
But I'm afraid I told a lie.
