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


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

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

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

  Em-A-D-G (Under hele partiet)

*Lalalalalala*

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

 I live my life in shame

In shame

In shame (Mmm-hmm-mmm)
