Big Sleep by Murder by Death
Big Sleep
Bm Em
At the end of the road
A Bm
He calls everyone home
Bm Em
And the fire will consume us
F#
Striking through to the bone
Bm Em
At the end of the road
A Bm
you will sleep, hear him call
Bm Em
as the congregations crumble
F# Bm
and the chapels will fall
Em A
And the taste on your tongue,
Bm
well it comes yeah it comes
F#
With the bittersweet pang of remorse and pain
Em A
Till the judgment is made
Bm
The prosecution’s won
The gavel has fallen
F# Bm
And justice is done
Interlude:
Bm Em A Bm Em F#
Bm Em
The courtroom clears
A Bm
I’m left alone on the bench
Bm Em
My wife and children gone
F#
Along with the defense
Em A Bm
The bailiff leads me back to my cell
Bm F# Bm
Like the riverman, ferrying me to Hell
Em A
I can’t blame ‘em, no
Bm
To hate me for what I’ve done
Em A
I hear them whispering in the hall
Bm
“you’ll live and die by the gun”
Em A Bm
All I can do is sit here and pray
Bm F# Bm
I’ll be forgiven on judgment day
Em A
Tell my wife in our yard
Bm
Buried underneath the pine
Em A
There's a shoebox full of money
Bm
of which I never earned a dime
Em F#
Use it to start over,
Bm
the way things should have been
F#
Live honest, and love again
Em F# Bm
Tell my wife, tell my kids, I never meant for this to happen
Interlude:
Bm Em F# A Bm F# end on Bm
When they flip the switch,
please do not stay
I couldn't bear for you
to remember me this way
