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

At the ^Cmend of the ^Fmroad He calls ^A#everyone h^Cmome And the ^Cmfire will con^Fmsume us Striking ^Gthrough to the bone

At the ^Cmend of the ^Fmroad you will ^A#sleep, hear him c^Cmall as the ^Cmcongregations ^Fmcrumble and the ^Gchapels will^Cm fall

And the ^Fmtaste on your ^A#tongue, well it ^Cmcomes yeah it comes With the bittersweet pang of ^Gremorse and pain

Till the ^Fmjudgment is ^A#made The ^Cmprosecution’s won

The gavel has fallen

And ^Gjustice is^Cm done

Interlude: Cm Fm A# Cm Fm G

^CmThe courtroom ^Fmclears I’m lef^A#t alone on the^Cm bench ^CmMy wife and children ^Fmgone Al^Gong with the defense The ^Fmbailiff leads me ^A#back to my c^Cmell Like the ^Cmriverman, ^Gferrying me to^Cm Hell

I can’^Fmt blame ‘^A#em, no To ^Cmhate me for what I’ve done I hear them ^Fmwhispering in the ^A#hall “you’ll live ^Cmand die by the gun” All ^FmI can do is ^A#sit here and p^Cmray I’ll b^Cme forgiven o^Gn judgme^Cmnt day

Tell my ^Fmwife in our ^A#yard Buried ^Cmunderneath the pine There's a ^Fmshoebox full of ^A#money of which I ^Cmnever earned a dime ^FmUse it to ^Gstart over, the ^Cmway things should have been Live honest,^G and love again

Tell my ^Fmwife, tell my ^Gkids, I^Cm never meant for this to happen Interlude: Cm Fm G A# Cm G end on Cm

When they flip the switch, please do not stay I couldn't bear for you to remember me this way
