THE BIG SLEEP By: Murder By Death from the album In Bocca Al Lupo

At the ^Bmend of the ^Emroad He calls ^Aeveryone ^Bmhome And the ^Bmfire will con^Emsume us Striking ^F#through to the bone

At the ^Bmend of the ^Emroad you will ^Asleep, hear him ^Bmcall as the ^Bmcongregations ^Emcrumble and the ^F#chapels will ^Bmfall

And the ^Emtaste on your ^Atongue, well it ^Bmcomes yeah it comes With the bittersweet pang of ^F#remorse and pain

Till the ^Emjudgment is ^Amade The ^Bmprosecution's won

The gavel has fallen

And ^F#justice is ^Bmdone

Interlude: Bm Em A Bm Em F#

^BmThe courtroom ^Emclears I'm left ^Aalone on the ^Bmbench ^BmMy wife and children ^Emgone Al^F#ong with the defense The ^Embailiff leads me ^Aback to my ^Bmcell Like the ^Bmriverman, ^F#ferrying me to ^BmHell

I can't ^Emblame 'em, ^Ano To ^Bmhate me for what I've done I hear them ^Emwhispering in the ^Ahall "you'll live and ^Bmdie by the gun" All ^EmI can do is ^Asit here and ^Bmpray I'll be ^Bmforgiven on ^F#judgment ^Bmday

Tell my ^Emwife in our ^Ayard Buried ^Bmunderneath the pine There's a ^Emshoebox full of ^Amoney of which I ^Bmnever earned a dime ^EmUse it to ^F#start over, the ^Bmway things should have been Live honest,^F# and love again

Tell my ^Emwife, tell my ^F#kids, I ^Bmnever 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
