Song

Dead Man Walking
Bruce Springsteen
Dead Man Walking Soundtrack, 1995
Transcribed by Carlo Ghio
There's a pale horse comin'
And I'm gonna ride it
I'll rise in the morning
With my fate beside it
I'm a dead man walkin' 
I'm a dead man walkin' 
In Saint James Parish
I was born and Christened
How I've got my story
Well Mister, there ain't no need
for you to listen
It's just a dead man talkin' 
Once I had a job, I had a girl
But between our dreams
and action lie this world
Well, in the deep forest
Their blood and tears rushed over me
All I could feel was the drugs
and the shotgun
And my fear up inside me 
Like a dead man talkin' 
Beneath the summer sky
my eyes went black 
Sister, I won't ask for forgiveness,
my sins are all I have
Tonight the clouds above my prison
Move slowly 'cross the sky
There is a new day comin'
And my dreams are full tonight.
