The Time Is Near

G

            F#m      Em              D
The time is near for things to pass
    G              F#
The time for me to leave
    Bm            A
But as I lie here all alone
  G                     F#
I really can't believe
    Bm                 A
That twenty years I've spent on earth
      G              F#
Would end in so much grief
         Bm            A
That the many friendly faces
       G                   F#  Bm
Should now stare hatefully

  G              D
A letter home to mother
      G              F#
And a letter home to dad
 Bm           A
Another to my sweetheart
    G              F#
For whom I feel so sad
  Bm              A
A lock of hair to cling to
     G                  F#
Is all, all that will remain
        Bm                A
And the grave inside this prison yard
  G                     F#   Bm
A stone that bears no name

G  D  G  F#
Bm  A  G  F#
Bm  A  G  F#
Bm  A  G  F#  Bm

   G               D
My trials and tribulations
    G              F#
Are nearly now all gone
  Bm         A
A murderer I never was
       G                F#
And my spirit will live on
Bm                     A
Jesus, help me in this troubled time
     G               F#
This hour of trouble deep
Bm              A
Help me find my peace of mind
G                   F#   Bm
Help me lord, to sleep
