25 Minutes To Go Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Well, they're bui[G]ldin the gallows outside my cell
and I've got 25 minutes to [D]go.
And the whole town's waitin just to hear me yell,
I've got 24 minutes to [G]go.
Well, they gave me some beans for my last meal
with 23 minutes to [D]go,
but nobody asked me how I feel,
I've got 22 minutes to [G]go.
Well, I sent for the governor and the whole darn bunch
with 21 minutes to [D]go,
and I called up the mayor but he's out to lunch,
I got 20 more minutes to [G]go.
Then the sheriff said boy, I'm gonna watch
you die with 19 minutes to [D]go,
soI laughed in his face and I spit in his eye
with 18 minutes to [G]go.
Now h[E]ere comes the preacher for to save my soul
with 13 minutes to [B]go,
and he's talkin bout burnin but I'm so cold,
12 more minutes to [E]go.
Well, they're testin the trap and it chills my spine,
11 more minutes [B]go,
and the trap and the rope, they work just fine,
10 more minutes to [E]go.
Well, I'm waitin for the pardon that'll set me free
with 9 more minutes to [B]go,
but this ain't the movies, so forget about me,
8 more minutes to [E]go.
W[G]ith my feet on the trap and my head in the noose,
5 more minutes to [D]go.
Won't somebody come and cut me loose?
4 more minutes to [G]go.
I can see the mountain I can see the sky,
3 more minutes to [D]go,
and it's too darn pretty for a man to die,
2 more minutes to [G]go.
I can see the buzzards, I can hear the crows,
1 more minute to [D]go,
and now I'm swingin and here I gooooo...
