[D] The courtroom was crowded
The judge [A] waited by
My mother was crying
Yeah, oh when I [D] left my chair
For the sin of my child Oh
Oh it cut [G] like a knife
For 99 [D] years boy
[A] It almost [D] all I I dreamed of the way
So I heard [A] the bell rang
My sweetheart was calm
With some good [D] news to bring
Or she said that she loved me
Oh, she said [G] she'd be true
She said [D] that she'd say
me
[A] I'm a little [D] as you
[A]
[D]
[G] [Gm] Whoa, [G]

One to [A] my despair
They sent me to Nashville
They shaved [D] off my hair so come here my story
I will tell [G] you my thing
[Gm] [G] I'm serving [D] in Nashville
[A] Or [D] another man's hey just got this letter
From Nashville [A] town I am after
My spirit [D] broke down
[D]
For said that my sweet heart and the judge [G] would be way
And here in [D] this jail how [A] I wish I [D] was
No matter how right for [G] a
man he [A] may be
That company will send
Him to prison [D] like me
