[Verse]
Gm                            Bb
Her eyes were once so full of dreams
Gm                                Bb
Her young heart filled with lover schemes
Eb        F               Bb
Now every second she must borrow
Eb            F      Bb
They take her life tomorrow


[Chorus]
       Bb
Is she guilty? She says no
    Gm
The girl on death row


[Verse]
Gm                              Bb
Now someone holds her trembling hand
Gm                       Bb
Another says please understand
Eb             F             Bb
Why can't they see it in her face?
Eb      F                Bb
Another should be in her place


[Chorus]
       Bb
Is she guilty? She says no
    Gm
The girl on death row


[Verse]
Gm                               Bb
Her young dreams never will come true
Gm                       Bb
Her innocence they never knew
Eb            F                Bb
Until they've found the guilty one
Eb                F                Bb
They're sorry now for what they've done


[Chorus]
         Bb
But it's late, too late
        Gm
For the girl on death row


[Outro]
    Gm
The girl on death row (play riff underneath)
    Gm
The girl on death row
