When The Deed Is Done

Intro: Bm G A A Bm G A F# G D A Bm Em Em F# F# Bm
Bm
   The hangman's waiting for then
A
   With the rope in his hands
     G                 Em
The silence makes him cast doubt
         Bm
On their innocence
Bm
   This cross I have to carry
   This cross I have to bear
   A
So keep your mind at ease
G
   This blood that's on my hands
  Em          Bm
I simply wash away
A                       Em
  I'm not a judge or a peer
                    Bm
Just a man with and iron heart
A                       G
  And I can't set them free to live again
            D             A
It's their time, I won't stall
               Em                          G
And you should never blame me, I'm not at fault
                    D                           A
I don't strive for pleasure, cuz there will be none
          Em       G                  D
And no appreciation when the deed is done
Bm
   The eyes all focus on me
A
   As I walk to the side
    G                        Em              Bm
To pull the lever that could be released by anyone
A                   Em
   It's a battle of will
                     Bm
Between conscious and righteousness
A                        G
   And it's more than one soul that's on the line
            D             A
It's their time, I won't stall
               Em                         G
And you should never blame me, I'm not at fault
                    D                          A
I don't strive for pleasure, cuz there will be none
         Em        G                  Bm
And no appreciation when the deed is done
Solo: Bm A G Em (3x)
      Bm A G A
D
   The hangman just stands in the distance
A
   To be shunned in dismay
         Em                        G
From any cynical feelings, I just shy away
                 D                    A
I won't find my glory, drying in the sun
             Em        G                  D
There's no appreciation when the deed is done
