Written by Bruce Springsteen
D/A There's a pale horse comin' I'm gonna ride it D/A I'll rise in the morning My fate decided G D/A I'm a dead man walkin' G I'm a dead man walkin' D/A D/A In St. James Parish I was born and christened D/A Now I've got my story Mister no G D/A need for you to listen G D/A It's just a dead man talkin' G D/A Once I had a job I had a girl G But between our dreams and actions D/A Lies this world D/A In the deep forest Their blood and tears rushed over me D/A All I could feel was the drugs and the shotgun G D/A And my fear up inside of me G D/A Like a dead man talkin' G D/A 'Neath a summer sky my eyes went black G Sister I won't ask for forgiveness A5 D/A My sins are all I have D/A Now the clouds above my prison Move slowly across the sky D/A There's a new day dawnin' A5 D/A And my dreams are full tonight...
