An eerie tale of a doomed man's walk to the last chair to be seated in, amplified by an electric combination of chords - which here are a bit reorganized due to the original use of some kind of open tuning. 
Am  Em  Am  Em  ...[reciting]

Am
and the mercy seat is waiting
Eaug
and I think my head is burning
C
and in a way I'm yearning
      G                                  Gm
to be done with all this weighing of the truth
              Gm7                   Bb
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
                      C
and anyway I told the truth
                      Am
and I'm not afraid to die
