Beyond The Last Mile Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][A][D]

[Verse 1]
I'm [D]watching the
clock tick the hours away
[G]The[Em]y say[G] th[A]at I will
hang at the dawn of the [D]day
But why should I fear death
when it's life [Em]anew?
[G]For [A]dying only takes me
much closer to [D]you
You left me in anger and
walked by the [G]sea
And [A]when they found your body,
they blamed it on [D]me
But you know they're wrong,
so wait for a [G]while
[D]Soon [A]we'll be together
beyond the last [D]mile
Stars hide their face to make
way for the [G]sun
[Em]Death [G]is [A]soon to claim
me and make us as [D]one
While others are walking the
streets with a [G]smile
[A]Then I will be walking
beyond the last [D]mile[A][D]
The jury agrees, I have taken your [G]life
[Em]The [G]sent[A]ence that they gave me,
it cut like
[D]But I'll face my maker today with a [G]smile I [D]know
[A]that you'll be waiting beyond the last [D]mile
The chaplain is making his last plea to
[G]God
[A]Soon the numbered steps
to the scaffold I'll [D]try
My footsteps won't falter,
I'll walk with a [G]smile
I [A]know that you'll be
waiting beyond the last [D]mile
