The Gallows Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords

By Westan James, the guitar chords are by Marc Fahrbach. Wylde Nept-the gallows.

1. It (Em)stands alone a(D)gainst the sky
Where (Am)seawinds blow and (Em)seabirds fly
A darkened and fore(D)boding tree
(Am)Bet your purse it (Em)waits for me 

The (Em)gallows wait, a(D)gainst the sky
The (Am)gallows wait, where (Bm)seabirds fly
The (Em)gallows wait, fore(D)boding tree
The (Am)gallows wait, it (D)waits for (Em)me 

2. (Em)Cold, alone, sway (D)with the wind 
(Am)Pray it’s not for (Em)you my friend 
Though it’s true that I (D)have sinned 
(Am)T’was not meant to (Em)be my end 

The (Em)gallows wait, (D)with the wind 
The (Am)gallows wait, for (Bm)you my friend 
The (Em)gallows wait, for (D)I have sinned
The (Am)gallows wait, to (D)be my (Em)end 

3. But (Em)I will not a(D)bandon hope 
To (Am)yet avoid that (Em)sturdy rope 
While you dance out(D)side my cell 
And (Am)think that I will (Em)go to hell 

The (Em)gallows wait, a(D)bandon hope 
The (Am)gallows wait, a (Bm)sturdy rope 
The (Em)gallows wait, out(D)side my cell 
The (Am)gallows wait, I'll (D)go to (Em)Hell! 

4. U(Em)pon these walls a (D)true confession, 
(Am)Thieving was my (Em)last profession, 
I did not take her (D)ring in flight 
I (Am)stole away his (Em)wedding night 

5. Just (Em)make it clear that’s (D)why I died.. 
Then (Am)wipe the tears all (Em)from her eyes.. 
I stretched before I (D)e'r was tried.. 
My (Am)life was purchased (Em)with his lies.. 

The (Em)gallows wait (D)
The (Am)gallows wait  (Bm)
The (Em)gallows wait (D)
The (Am)gallows wait...(D)-(Em)
