Em                  D
They're taking me down my friend

Em                      D
and as they usher me off to my end

                   A     G
will I bid you adieu?

                   A     G
Or be seeing you soon?

                            Em
If what they say round here is true

            D
then we'll meet again

A
me and you.

Em               D
My time is at hand, my dove

Em                         D
They're gunna pass me to that house above

                   A               G
Is Heaven just for victims, dear?

                  A           G
Where only those in pain go?

                      Em
Well it takes two to tango

              D
We will meet again, my love

A
I know

Em                               D 
If you're in Heaven then you'll forgive me, dear

Em                       D
Because that's what they do up there

                         A                G
If you're in Hell, then what can I say

                        A              G
You probably deserved in anyway

                         Em
I guess I'm gunna find out any day

           D
For we'll meet again 

    A
And there'll be Hell to pay

Em                   D    
Your face comes to me from the depths, dear

Em                        D
Your silent mouth mouths, 'Yes", dear

                 A               G
Dark red and big with blood

                        A                 G
They're gunna shut me down, my love

                        Em
They're gunna launch me into the stars

               D
Well, all things come to pass

 A
Glory hallelujah

Em                    D
This prayer is for you, my love

Em                    D
Sent on the wings of a dove

                    A              G
An idiot prayer of empty words

                      A                  G  
Love, dear, is strictly for the birds

                   Em
We each get what we deserve

           D
My little snow white dove

 A
Rest assured
