[Intro 1]
[D][C][D][C][D][C][D][C]

[Verse 1]
If [A]I
could turn back the hands of time
If [G]I could turn b[D]ack the c[A]lock
I wouldn't be in the place I'm in
I [G]wouldn't be [D]in [A]the dock
Where's your friends when
you need them most
[G]Probably hidin' [D]under a [A]rock
If I could undo the things I did
If [G]I could turn b[D]ack the c[A]lock

[Verse 2]
[A]
It started out like any other day
[G]Lazin' around with nothing to [A]do
My mind started wondering
onto criminal thing[Em]s
And [G]how to make a [D]dollar or [A]two
I called the guys on my telling phone
And [D]told them of my little
[A]scheme
We drank some beer, we ate some pill[Em]s,
I [G]shared with [D]them my dream
[A]

[Verse 3]
I can't recall exactly how
[E]I got[G] to where I shouldn't
have [A]been
]My head seemed filled with hombre stuff
I [G]fealt like I was [D]on [A]the screen
I drank more beer, I ate more pills
[D]Gained myself a spinning [A]head
I raised a gun, I killed a man
I'm [G]told it [D]was for something [A]he said

[Verse 4]
[D]It's been a year since I said a pray[C]er
But [D]God Almighty, if your listening up there

[Verse 5]
If [A]I could turn back the hands of time
If [G]I could turn b[D]ack t[A]he clock
I wouldn't be in this cell right now
I [G]wouldn't be [D]in the [A]dock
Where's your friends when
you need them most
[G]Probably hidin' [D]under [A]a rock
If I could undo the things I did
If [G]I could turn b[A]ack the clock

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][A][G][D][A]

[Verse 6]
[A]Misters life and death drone on
In their [G]salutary [A]tones
While I stand in that wooden dock
All [G]sober [D]an d [A]alone
The papers say it's such a crime
[D]What's been dished [A]to me
And people who I do not know
Are [G]banging on for [D]clemency
[A]

[Verse 7]
[A]Now I have the best of cells
With [G]ladies on my [A]walls
When I'm moved they holler
"dead man walking"
The [G]words echo [A]around [D]the [A]halls
I ponder on where my soul is bound
As I [D]stare up at the [A]moon
Above the clouds,
beneath the ground
[G]I'm gonna find [D]out real [A]soon

[Verse 8]
[D]Strap me in to the killing [Am]chair
[D]Give me the volts, straighten out my hair
It's been a year since I said a prayer
[Am]But God [D]Almighty, if your listening up there[G]

[Verse 9]
If [A]I could turn back the hands of time
If [G]I could turn b[D]ack the c[A]lock
I wouldn't be in this place right now
I [G]wouldn't be [D]in the [A]dock
Where's your friends when
you need them most
[G]Probably hidin' [D]under [A]a rock
If I could undo all the things I did
If [G]I could turn b[D]ack the c[A]lock
