Capo on 1st
A little girl lDost. Her world full of pGain
He said it feels gAood. So she gave him her vDein
The dope made her nDumb. And numb felt like frGee
Until she came dAown, down, down to a new miserDy
A junkie, a whDore living for the next hGigh
She'd lie, cheat and stAeal. She forgot how to crDy
Wide awake for two weDeks shooting heroin then spGeed
When she killed him in cAold, cold blood, all she felt was her nDeed
CHORUS
DNow, it's an eye for an Geye and you're gonna dDie
It's a tooth for a tAooth, your moment of trDuth.
There's no mercy hGere. Your stay is denDied
You better prAay, pray, pray you find mercy in the skDy
Alone in her cell. No dope in her veins
The killer'd become little girl lost again
She fell to her knees. She prayed she would die
On the cold cement floor she finally cried
And love came like the wind. And Love whispered her name
And love reached through and held her. Love lifted her pain
Fifteen years on death row. Her faith deeper each day
Her last words were "I love you all!" Good-bye, Karla Faye
Now it's an eye for an eye, and you're gonna die
It’s a tooth for a tooth, your moment of truth
There's no mercy here. Your stay is denied
You better pray,pray,pray you find mercy in the sky

Capo on 1st

D G

A little girl lost. Her world full of pain

A D

He said it feels good. So she gave him her vein

D G

The dope made her numb. And numb felt like free

A D

Until she came down, down, down to a new misery

D G

A junkie, a whore living for the next high

A D

She'd lie, cheat and steal. She forgot how to cry

D G

Wide awake for two weeks shooting heroin then speed

A D

When she killed him in cold, cold blood, all she felt was her need

CHORUS

D G D

Now, it's an eye for an eye and you're gonna die

A D

It's a tooth for a tooth, your moment of truth.

G D

There's no mercy here. Your stay is denied

A D

You better pray, pray, pray you find mercy in the sky

Alone in her cell. No dope in her veins

The killer'd become little girl lost again

She fell to her knees. She prayed she would die

On the cold cement floor she finally cried

And love came like the wind. And Love whispered her name

And love reached through and held her. Love lifted her pain

Fifteen years on death row. Her faith deeper each day

Her last words were "I love you all!" Good-bye, Karla Faye

Now it's an eye for an eye, and you're gonna die

It’s a tooth for a tooth, your moment of truth

There's no mercy here. Your stay is denied

You better pray,pray,pray you find mercy in the sky
