25 Minutes To Go - Johnny Cash | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
               E                     E6
Well they’re building a gallows outside my cell
                     E             B7
I’ve got twentyfive minutes to go
And the whole town’s waitin’ just to hear me yell
                                   E
I’ve got twentyfour minutes to go

[Verse 1]
---------------------
          E
Well they gave me some beans for my last meal
                                    B7
I’ve got twentythree minutes to go
But nobody asked me how I feel
                                  E
I’ve got twentytwo minutes to go
Well I sent for the governor and the whole dern bunch
                            B7
With twentyone minutes to go
And I sent for the mayor but he’s out to lunch
                               E
I’ve got twenty minutes to go
Then the sheriff said boy I gonna watch you die
                          B7
Got nineteen minutes to go
So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye
                           E
Got eightteen minutes to go

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G    G
 Now here comes the preacher for to save my soul
                           D
With thirteen minutes to go
And he’s talkin’ ‘bout burnin’ but I’m so cold
                                G
I’ve twelve more minutes to go
Now they’re testin’ the trap and it chills my spine
                         D
Eleven more minutes to go
And the trap and the rope aw they work just fine
                          G
Got ten more minutes to go
Well I’m waitin’ on the pardon that’ll set me free
                            D
With nine more minutes to go
But this is for real so forget about me
                            G
Got eight more minutes to go

[Verse 3]
---------------------
A        A
 With my feet on the trap and my head on the noose
                           E
Got five more minutes to go
Won’t somebody come and cut me loose
                            A
With four more minutes to go
I can see the mountains I can see the skies
                             E
With three more minutes to go
And it’s too dern pretty for a man that don’t want to die
                      A
Two more minutes to go
I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows
                     E
One more minute to go
                             E
And now I’m swingin’ and here I go
