25 Minutes To Go
                               by Johnny Cash
 
 
                      G
     Well, they're buildin the gallows outside my cell and I've got 25 
           D
minutes to go. And the whole town's waitin just to hear me yell, I've got 24
           G
minutes to go. Well, they gave me some beans for my last meal with 23 minutes
   D                                                          G
to go, but nobody asked me how I feel, I've got 22 minutes to go. Well, I
                                                                  D
sent for the governor and the whole darn bunch with 21 minutes to go, and I
                                                                    G
called up the mayor but he's out to lunch, I got 20 more minutes to go.
                                                                      D
Then the sheriff said boy, I'm gonna watch you die with 19 minutes to go, so
                                                               G        E
I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye with 18 minutes to go. Now here
                                                          B7
comes the preacher for to save my soul with 13 minutes to go, and he's talkin
                                                E
bout burnin but I'm so cold, 12 more minutes to go. Well, they're testin the
                                             B7
trap and it chills my spine, 11 more minutes go, and the trap and the rope,
                                        E
they work just fine, 10 more minutes to go. Well, I'm waitin for the pardon
                                           B7
that'll set me free with 9 more minutes to go, but this ain't the movies, so
                                   E    G
forget about me, 8 more minutes to go. With my feet on the trap and my head
                                D
in the noose, 5 more minutes to go. Won't somebody come and cut me loose? 4 
                G
more minutes to go. I can see the mountain I can see the sky, 3 more minutes
   D                                                                G
to go, and it's too darn pretty for a man to die, 2 more minutes to go. I can
                                                         D
see the buzzards, I can hear the crows, 1 more minute to go, and now I'm 
 
swingin and here I goooooooooo...

The at Folsom Prison version has a capo on 1

I think the "B" chord should be a "B7."

Good chords. Formatting leaves a little to be desired, but that's nitpicky of me. And I agree with the B7.
