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


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

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

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

  F#m-B-E-A (Under hele partiet)

*Lalalalalala*

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

 I live my life in shame
