Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am][Asus2][Asus4][Am][Asus2][Am][Asus4]
[Am]Walking down death [D]row,[Dm]
[Em]I sang for three men destined
for the [Am]chair;
Walking down death [D]row,[Dm]
[Em]I sang of lives and loves in other [Am]years.
[Dm]Walking down death row,
I sang of hopes that used to be.
Through the bars, into each separate cell,
Yes, I sang to one and two and three.
"If [Em]you'd only only stuck together
you'd not be sitting here!
"If you could have [Dm]loved each other's lives,
you'd not be sit[Em]ting here!
"And if [Am]only this you could be[Dm]lieve,
"You [Em]might still, you might still be re[Am]prieved."
[Asus2][Am][Asus4][Am][Asus2][Am]

[Verse 2]
Walking down death [D]row,[Dm]
I [Em]turned the corner and found to
[Am]my surprise;
There were women there as [D]well,
[Dm]With [Em]babies in their arms,
before my [Am]eyes.
[Dm]Walking down death row,
I tried once more to sing of hopes
that used to be.
But the thought of that contraption,
down the hall,
Waiting for whole families,
one dozen, two or three,
"If you'd [Em]only stuck together,
you'd not be here!
"If you could've [Dm]loved another's child as well as your own,
you'd not be sitting [Em]here!
"And if [Am]only this you could be[Dm]lieve,
"You [Em]might still, you might still be re[Am]prieved."

[Verse 3]
[Am]
Walking down death [D]row,[Dm]
I con[Em]centrated,
singing to the [Am]young.[Asus2][Am]
I sang of hopes that flickered [D]still,[Dm]
[Em]I tried to mouth their many
separate [Am]tongues.
[Dm]Walking down death row,
I sang of life and love
that still might be.
Singing down death row,
To each separate human cell,
One billion, two, or three,
"If we'd [Em]only stick together,
we'd not be here!
"If we could learn to [Dm]love each other's lives,
we'd not be [Em]sitting here!
"And if [Am]only this we could be[Dm]lieve,
[Em]"We still might,
we [C]still might [Em]be repr[Am]ieved."
