DEAD MAN WALKING
Bruce Springsteen 1995

Capo at 5th. But actual key is D. These chords are shown as if the capo was
the nut.
For best results: play this by banging the bass strings with your index
fingernail, rinse and repeat

          A 
There s a pale horse comin 
And I m gonna ride it
I ll rise in the mornin
       D       A
With my fate decided

      D        A
I m a dead man walkin 
      D        A
I m a dead man walkin 

In Saint James Parish
I was born and Christened
How I got my story
                       D               A
Mister, there ain t no need for you to listen

            D        A
It s just a dead man talkin 

D                          A
Bridge: I had a job, I had a girl
                            D                       A
            But between our dreams and actions lie this world

In the deep forest
Their blood and tears rushed over me
All I could feel was the drugs and shotgun
        D          A
And my fear up inside me

       D         A       D  A  D  A
Like a dead man talkin

                   D                       A
Bridge:  Neath the summer sky my eyes went black
                            D                       E7             A
            Sister, I won t ask for forgiveness, my sins are all I have

Now the clouds above my prison
Move slowly  cross the sky
There s a new day comin 
       D                 A
And my dreams are full tonight.
