The Ballad Of Timothy Evans Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]In Evans was a prisoner
down in [G]his prison cell
And [Am]those that read about
his crime
condemned [G]his soul to hell
Go [Am]down, ye mur[G]derer, [Am]go down
For the killing of his own dear wife
and the [G]murder of his child
The [Am]jury found him guilty
and the [G]hanging judge, he smiled
Go [Am]down, you mur[G]derer, [Am]go down
Oh, they took Tim Evans from the dock
and they [G]led him to his cell
They [Am]closed the door behind his back,
saying, [G]damn your soul to hell
Go [Am]down, you [G]murderer, go [Am]down
Tim Evans who walked
around the yard
and the [G]screws they walked behind
He [Am]saw the sky above the wall
but knew [G]no peace of mind
Go [Am]down, you mur[G]derer, [Am]go down
And the governor came to his cell
with the [G]chaplain by his side
[Am]Senor, appeal has been turned down,
pre[G]pare yourself to die
Go [Am]down, you mur[G]derer, [Am]go down!
But they took Tim Evans
to the place
where the [G]hangman did prepare
They [Am]tied the rope around his neck
with the [G]knot behind his ear
Go [Am]down, you [G]murderer, [Am]go down!
A thousand lags were screaming
and [G]banging on their doors
Tim [Am]Evans didn't hear them,
he was [G]dead forevermore
Go [Am]down, you mur[G]derers, [Am]go down
They sent Tim Evans to the drop
for a [G]crime he did not do
Dr [Am]Christie was the murderer,
the [G]judge and the jury too
Go [Am]down, you mur[G]derers, go down
[Am]Go down, you murdere[G]rs, go d[Am]own
Go down, you mur[G]derers, [Am]go down
Go down, you [G]murderers,
[Am]go down[G]

[Am][G][Am]

[Am][G]
[Am][G]
[Am]Thank very[G] much.[Am]
