[Verse 1]
Am Em
It was just a little while past the sunset strip
C G D
They found the girl’s body in an open pit
Am Em
Her mouth was sewn shut, but her eyes were still wide
C G D
Gazing through the fog to the other side
[Verse 2]
Am Em
They booked me on a whim and threw me deep in jail
C G D
With no bail, sitting silent on a rusty pail
Am Em
Just gazing at the marks on the opposite wall
C G D
Remembering the music of my lover’s call
[Bridge]
Am Em
So you make no mistake I know just what it takes
C G D
To pull a man’s soul back from heaven’s gates
Am Em
I’ve been wandering in the dark about as long as sin
C G D
But they say it’s never too late to start again
[Chorus]
Am Em
Oh when, oh when
C G D
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul to send?
Am Em
Oh when, oh when
C G D
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
[Verse 3]
Am Em
It was dark as the grave, it was just about three
C G D
When the warden with his key came to set me free
Am Em
They gave me five dollars and a secondhand suit
C G D
A pistol and a hat and a worn out flute
