Verse 1
Dm C G
It was late one night in the heart of town I was drinkin' all alone
Dm F G
Ran out of cash when I paid my tab so I headed home
Dm C G
The night was black the air was thick as I wandered past the park
F Am Dm
Then a shot rang out and I heard a scream beside me in the dark
Verse 2
Dm C G
Afraid that maybe I'd be next I started to run.
Dm F G
Just as fast as my feet would go into the barrel of a gun.
Dm C G
A lawmans light was blinding me he said why'd you do it son.
F Am Dm
Two weeks later in a criminal court I was up on murder one.
Chours
F C
Maybe some early mornin'
G Dm
In a pasture of green
F C
Beside the still waters
G Dm
I'll awake from this dream... This terrible dream
Verse 3
Dm C G
Well I sat there in the court room as the tears ran down my face
Dm F G
A Guilty man is free somewhere and they put me in his place.
Dm C G
The Jury read the verdict and the judge called out my name.
F Am Dm
He said young man you'll spend your life wearin' the ball and chain.
Verse 4
Dm C G
Now I'm stairin' at the ceiling as I lay here on my bed
Dm F G
Fourteen long and lonely years it's where I layed my head
Dm C G
Behind these cold gray prison walls time sure passes slow
F Am Dm
and unless I die tomorrow I've still got a life to go
Chorus
F C
Maybe some early mornin'
G Dm
In a pasture of green
F C
Beside the still waters
G Dm
I'll awake from this dream... This terrible dream
Instrumental verse interlude
Verse 5
Dm C G
A man who's lost his vision will live and die alone
Dm F G
In the cold walls of this prison my heart has turned to stone
Dm C G
The lights are growin' dimmer as I take my final breath
F Am Dm
I can smell the air of freedom as I close my eyes in death.
Chorus
F C
Maybe some early mornin'
G Dm
In a pasture of green
F C
Beside the still waters
G Dm
I'll awake from this dream... This terrible dream
Dm C Dm
