[Verse 1]
Am
I once met a man,
G
In a dream one night,
F E
Who seemed to have nothing to lose.
Am G
Oh his eyes were like two red fiery pits,
F7 E
He stumbled up to me like he’d had a few.
[Verse 2]
Am G
He looked me in the eyes and without a word,
F E
He saw right through my soul,
Am
And with an evil little grin and a stench of sin,
Am E
He delivered me a message that I’ll never forget.
[Chorus]
Am G
“Put your hands up, this is your last chance”,
F E
“So boy prepare to die”,
Am C
“Get ready to meet your maker,
F E
before I put one right between your eyes”
Am C
“Get ready, (get ready), for your resignation”
F E
“Get ready, (get ready), to beg for your salvation”
Am E
“’cause when you wake up, you’ll realize...”
Am
“who even cares if you’re dead,
E
If you were never alive?”
[Verse 3]
Am
I won’t pretend that I’m a tough guy,
G
I’d like to think I value my life,
F
But I remembered father told me ,
E
Never turn down a fight,
Am G
You see I’ve got a few tricks of my own up my sleeve ,
F E*
And none of them involve caving in to nothing.
[Verse 4]
Am
So I charged at the man,
G
And I threw up my hands,
F
I balled up my fists,
E
Swing as hard as I can,
Am
But to my surprise he was faster than I,
E
And the next thing I know I feel colder than ice.
[Chorus]
Am G
“Put your hands up, this is your last chance”,
F E
“So boy prepare to die”,
Am C
“Get ready to meet your maker,
F E
before I put one right between your eyes”
Am C
“Get ready, (get ready), for your resignation”
F E
“Get ready, (get ready), to beg for your salvation”
Am E
“‘Cause when I woke up and I opened my eyes,
Am E
I remembered what he said with every ounce of my life”
N.C.
