F
I write to you this letter
         Bb             F
You will get it in the mail
 
I hope that you're not tired
      Bb                   C
Of my letters sent from jail
        Gm                Bb
I spent twenty years in prison
                      C
For a crime I did not do
    F           C
And noone do believe that
    Bb            F
I'm innocent but you
 
 
I never hurt nobody
    Bb                  F
And that's the truth I swear
 
Someone says they saw me on the scene
      Bb           C
But I wasn't even near
   Gm          Bb
An officer was shot to death
              C
By machinegun fire
     F             C
It's almost twenty years ago
         Bb              F
And they still can me a liar
   Gm
Oh this is a nightmare


 It really is
       C
I just hope down the line
 
That there is some justice
F
Help me God, if you are up there
  Bb
I really didn't shoot that guy, I swear
    Gm
The judge and the jury
 
They didn't even look at me
  C
I had no lawyer and no defence, see
     F
They let 'em all feel the wrath of your power
  Bb
I pay it with my young life
                    Gm
Cos they are cowards
                    C
Cos they are cowards

      F
So I write to you my darlin'
        Bb                F
So that you can bring it on
 
And prove to them my innocence
Bb          C
After I'm gone
Gm          Bb
Only before God can I confess
        C
Without shame
  F                  C
A killer's out there in the street
    Bb             F
And I got all the blame

 
Can I trust you to see that these words
    Bb             F
Are written on my stone
 
Don't bother with my name
        Bb           C
Cos I'd rather be unknown
Gm           Bb
Here lies Mr.Innocent
                C
He never shed a tear
    F                C
You wanted his young life
Bb              F
Now enjoy your dinner

  Gm-C-F-Bb (Under hele partiet)

*Lalalalalala*

Gm
Thank you and goodnight, people of the land
    C
The system failed for an innocent man
      F
I was 14, had not yet been with a woman
Bb
Now I'm 34 and I still haven't been with one
Gm                   
To my mom and dad, I brought alot of pain
    C
And now they don't want me to carry their name
    F                                 Bb
Now I'm just a number, a number in chains

 I live my life in shame
