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


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

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

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

  Dm-G-C-F (Under hele partiet)

*Lalalalalala*

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

 I live my life in shame
