Hallowed Be Thy Name

Year: 1982 - Album: The Number of the Beast

Written by Stephen Percy Harris

	  		Em                 C                  D 
  I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime. 
Em                 C                  D                   Em 
  Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time. 
C                        D                      Em 
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows pole, 
C                 D                  Em 
The sands of time for me are running low. 

Em 
When the priest comes to read me the last rites, 
G C 
I take a look through the bars at the last sights, 
A D                                         B  E  B  C 
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me. 
Em 
Can it be that there's some sort of error. 
G C 
Hard to stop the surmounting terror. 
A D                                        B E B C 
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream? 

Em 
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming, 
C 
It's not so easy to stop from screaming, 
D                                       B E B C 
But words escape me when i try to speak. 
Em 
Tears flow but why am I crying, 
C 
After all I'm not afraid of dying. 
D                                          B E B C 
Don't I believe that there never is an end. 

Em 
As the guards march me out to the courtyard, 
C 
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you". 
D                                          B E B C 
If there's a God then why has he let me go? 

Em 
As I walk all my life drifts before me, 
C 
Though the end is near I'm still not sorry. 
D                                       B E B C 
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away. 

Em 
Mark my words believe my soul lives on. 
C 
Don't worry now that I have gone. 
D 
I've gone beyond to see the truth. 

Em 
When you know that your time is close at hand. 
C 
Maybe then you'll begin to understand, 
D                                        B E B C  Em  Bm  C 
Life down here is just a strangeillusion  

B  Em  A  D  G  C  A  D 
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... Hallowed Be Thy Name
