Murder by Death – Big Sleep (Guitar)

       Bm         Em
At the end of the road

         A        Bm
He calls everyone home

        Bm           Em
And the fire will consume us

         F#             
Striking through to the bone

       Bm         Em
At the end of the road 

         A               Bm
you will sleep, hear him call

       Bm            Em 
as the congregations crumble 

        F#           Bm
and the chapels will fall

        Em            A
And the taste on your tongue, 

        Bm
well it comes yeah it comes

                             F#
With the bittersweet pang of remorse and pain

         Em          A
Till the judgment is made

    Bm
The prosecution’s won

    F#         Bm
And justice is done

Bm            Em
The courtroom clears

         A            Bm
I’m left alone on the bench

Bm                   Em
My wife and children gone

  F#
Along with the defense

    Em               A          Bm
The bailiff leads me back to my cell

         Bm        F#             Bm
Like the riverman, ferrying me to Hell

        Em         A    
I can’t blame ‘em, no

   Bm            
To hate me for what I’ve done

            Em                A
I hear them whispering in the hall

                 Bm
“you’ll live and die by the gun”

    Em          A            Bm 
All I can do is sit here and pray

        Bm          F#       Bm
I’ll be forgiven on judgment day

        Em          A
Tell my wife in our yard

       Bm
Buried underneath the pine

          Em              A
There's a shoebox full of money 

           Bm
of which I never earned a dime

Em        F#
Use it to start over, 

    Bm
the way things should have been

            F#
Live honest, and love again

        Em            F#      Bm
Tell my wife, tell my kids, I never meant for this to happen
