[Verse 1]
E G E G E G E G
Woke up dead, you know I woke up dead, give me time to get it through my head
E G E G E G E E
They hanged me by the neck, I heard the devil laugh, I was a nervous wreck, I was the first in line
[Chorus 1]
C#m C#m A A B C#m C#m F# G#
Do you want to look right in the devil's face? You must have seen the ground where we upheld the law
C#m C#m A A B C#m C#m F# G#
I was a young man then, I was a young man then, spending time on the killing floor
E G A A G E E G A A G E
Do as you would want to be; joy of labour sets you free

Woke up scared, you know I woke up scared, give me time to show you how I wound up there

They put me in a cell, I heard the ghost in there, I wasn't feeling well, I was the first in line
[Chorus 2]
C#m C#m A A B C#m C#m F# G#
Do you want see right through the devil's eyes? You must have seen the ground where they all stood before
C#m C#m A A B C#m C#m F# G#
I was a young man then, I was a young man then, spending my time on the killing floor

Be more than you seem to be; joy of labour sets you free

Woke up dead, you know I woke up dead, I was the only one that saw the road ahead

They beat me with their fists, I did the devil's work, and I was on their list, I was the first in line
[Chorus 3]
C#m C#m A A B C#m C#m F# G#
Do you even know just what the devil does? He drives a man 'til he can take no more
C#m C#m A A B C#m C#m F# G#
I was a young man then, I was a young man then, serving my time on the killing floor
