Verse 1: We'll do it all, everything, on our own.
We don't need, anything, or anyone.
Half Chorus: If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
Verse 2: I don't quite know, how to say, how I feel
Those three words, I said too much, but not enough.
Full Chorus:
If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
Forget what we're told, before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life.
Verse 3: Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads.
I need your grace, to remind me, to find my own.
Full Chorus:
Bridge: All that I am, all that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where, confused about how as well
just know that these things will never change for us at all.
Last Half Chorus
Playing Notes-
1. Just one bass guitar (looped) and one rhythm guitar. As with many classics,
this song is very easy to play. Just get the rhythm down and you are set.
2. I am omitting lyrics since the whole song is based on this simple arrangement.

[Verse 1] Em C D G
Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leavin' my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me
[Chorus 1] C G Em D
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
[Verse 2]
Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be
[Chorus]
[Bridge] Em G
I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
C
But I guess it shows
C D
When you look into my eyes
Em G
What you did and where you're comin from

I don't care, as long as you love me, baby
Chorus
Big, as in large, as in huge, as in mine is better than yours

The Cadillac car represented the highest classes in America
The pure unstained wasp
They never worried about the costs, no
Then the Cadillac car was bought by the rising Je

Jade Chorus:
This is why we do this, We love good music,
Music fills my room when I'm alone,
Doesn't matter where I am I'm always home,
With a good song
Adrian 1:Now everybody got a reason a thesis that they believe in
here's a couple of mine as I be dropping a rhyme,
See I'm a lyricist I love to pay attention to words man
I'm just trying to do my thing in different parts of the world hey yo,
Sometimes we need distractions from all of the bad that happens,
Sometimes we need to relax this life is such a challenge,
And sometimes, We just need compassion,
But yo without good music then it's hard to have it
Chorus:
Adrian 2:So yo enjoy your moment as you work on what's important
and I'm speaking from experience music helps me focus,
It feels amazing as I listen and I dance to it,
When I'm under pressure my songs they help me handle it and yo,
Whether it's the beat or the lyrics you feel the energy
and maybe you'll remember me one day when you play this melody,
Yeah good music is timeless which is why
it doesn't matter anytime you rewind it yo
Verse 3:When it comes to music I'm a savage for it all
I don't panic anymore when I'm on the mic as I perform,
Thanks to practice I'm a rappin' fanatic,
And yo I ain't ashamed I'll admit I'm an addict,
Gimme that rock and roll or gimme pop, or maybe give me Hip Hop,
Or gimme Spanish music where the party don't stop,
Genre doesn't matter, you just make it your own
with a good song you know that you'll always be home
So once again this is why we do it , If you couldn't tell by now
All Singers: We love good music And instead of having so much confusion
my solution's making music yo to me it's therapeutic
With the right state of mind I'm taking on any challenge
As I stay on the grind But with good music I'm balanced,
And like I said it doesn't matter, you just make it your own
and with a good song you know that you'll always be home
Jade Verse 1
Gimme the mic gimme the booth, / Feeling the vibe feeling the tune
Matter of time you're gonna find, / Power inside power in you, get in the groove
This is why we do this, We love good music, /
And I get in my zone when my favorite song comes on
Jade Verse 2
I've been at this for a minute / It's been a really good run /
My fingers doing what they want to do / I'm just having fun /
I'm doing this for me and it's cool if people get to see /
I got 100 in the vault and if I never take off
I can still rest easy knowing this is why we do this

I’ve looked for love in all the same old places

Found the bottom of the bottle's always drrryyy

|B |B |E |B 2x
Well I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body
I know not everybody has got a body like you
But I've got to think twice before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play because I played them too
[Pre-chorus]
|E |B |E |B |E |B G#m |C#m |F#
But I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
When that love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showing you the door
[Chorus]
|B |B |B |B
Cause I've got to have faith
I've got to have faith
Because I've got to have faith, faith, faith
I've got to have faith, faith, faith
[Verse 2]
|B |B |E |B 2x
Baby I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe you mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules
[Pre-chorus]
|E |B |E |B |E |B G#m |C#m |F#
Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider my foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for something more

Cause I've got to have faith
I've got to have faith
Because I've got to have faith, faith, faith

You are all I want girl, she's a chicken

Bb F
There's a look I cant describe in your eyes
Bb F Am
Yes we could try, like we trid before

When you kept on telling me those lies
(F Am Bb C) x2
Do you remember..

You could've come over to my side

But it seemed too far for you to go

Am Dm
You trais people are funny sometimes
Bb
Cos they just can't wait

To get hurt again

Do you remember..
There things we won´t recall
Feelings well never find
It taken so long to see it
Cos we never seemed to have the time
There was always something more important to do
More important to say
But I love you, wasn't one of those things
And nao its too late
Do you remember... ?

Sometimes we fall down and can't get back up

We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
Am C F C
How come we don't say I love you enough
Am C F C
Till it's too late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
Am C F C
We could make a feast from these crumbs

And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun

So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would've done
F G C/E F (Entire Chorus)
Yeah… gotta start
Looking at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
(Continued after the jump)
Well if you plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we live out of our lives
So when we long for absolution, there'll be no one on the line
Yeah… we gotta start lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
You never know a good thing until it's gone
you never see a crash until its head on
All these people right when we're dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till it's gone
Yeah… we gotta start lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
this all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,

VERSES- Play Intro 2x
I've gotta take a little time, a little time to think things over.
I better read between the lines, in case I need it when I'm older.
Now, this mountain I must climb feels like the world upon my shoulders.
Through the clouds I see love shine. It keeps me warm as life grows colder.
C/A Am C/A Am
In my life there's been heartache and pain.
C/A Am D/A Am

Can't stop now. I've traveled so far to change this lonely life.

Down a back road blowin' stop signs through the middle every little farm town with you
In this brand new chevy with a lift kit
Look a hell lot better with you up in it
So Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
When that summer sun fell to it's knees
I looked at her and she looked at me
And I turned on those KC lights and drove all night
Cuz it felt so right her and I man we felt so right
I put it in park
and grabbed my guitar
and strung a couple cords
and sang from the heart
Girl you sure got the beat in my chest bumpin'
Hell I can't get you out of my head
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin' stop signs through the middle every little farm town with you

I can see an empty booth
Would you like to maybe sit and talk a while
Chorus 3 - Chords are same
Me neither
We'd never get along
I'm thinkin'
There's no chemistry at all
This has been a waste of time
And I'm running out of lines
Don't you think it's time for me to end this song?
(Pause for 1 Bar)
Me neither..... (SOLO)

By the time you hear this I will have already spiraled up
I would never do nothing to let you cowards fuck my world up
If I was you, I would duck, or get struck like lightening,
Fighters keep fighting, put your lighters up, point em' skyward uh
Had a dream I was king, I woke up, still king...
This rap game's nipple is mine for the milking,
Till nobody else even fucking feels me, till' it kills me
I swear to god I'll be the fucking illest in this music
There is or there ever will be, disagree?
Feel free, but from now on I'm refusing to ever give up
The only thing I ever gave's using no more excuses
Excuse me if my head is too big for this building
And pardon me if I'm a cocky prick but you cocks are slick
Poppin shit on how you flipped ya life around, crock-o-shit
Who you dicks try to kid, flipped dick, you did the opposite
You stayed the same, cause cock backwards is still cock you pricks
I love it when I tell em shove it
Cause it wasn't that long ago when Marshall sat, luster lacked, lustered
Cuz he couldn't cut mustard, muster up nothing
Brain fuzzy, cause he's buzzin', woke up from that buzz
Now you wonder why he does it, how he does it
Wasn't cause he had buzzards circle around his head
Waiting for him to drop dead, was it?
Or was it, cause them es wrote him off
Little hussy ass, cause f-ck it, guess it doesn't matter now, does it
What difference it make?
What it take to get it through your thick skulls
As if this aint some bullshit
People don't usually come back this way
From a place that was dark as I was in
Just to get to this place
Now let these words be like a switch blade to a haters rib cage
And let it be known from this day forward
I wanna just say thanks cause your hate is what gave me the strength
So let em bic's raise cause I came with 5'9′ but I feel like I'm
6'8″

[Royce Da 5'9]
By the time you hear this I'll probably already be outtie
I advance like going from toting iron to going and buying 4 or 5 of the
Homies the iron man Audi
My daddy told me slow down, boy, you goin to blow it
And I aint gotta stop the beat a minute
To tell Shady I love him the same way that he did Dr Dre on the Chronic
Tell him how real he is or how high I am
Or how I would kill for him for him to know it
I cried plenty tears, my daddy got a bad back
So it's only right that I right till he can march right into that post
Office and tell em to hang it up
Now his career's Lebron's jersey in 20 years
I'll stop when I'm at the very top
You shitted on me on your way up
It's 'bout to be a scary drop
Cause what goes up must come down
You going down on something you don't wanna see like a hairy box
Every hour, happy hour now
Life is wacky now
Used to have to eat the cat to get the pussy
Now I'm just the cats meooww, ow
Classic cow, always down for the catch weight like Pacquiao
Ya'll are doomed
I remember when T-Pain aint wanna work with me
My car starts itself, parks itself and autotunes
Cause now I'm in the Aston
I went from having my city locked up
To getting treated like Kwame Kilpatrick
And now I'm fantastic
Compared to a weed high
And y'all s just gossipin' like es on a radio and TV
See me, we fly
Y'all buggin out like Wendy Williams staring at a bee-hive
And how real is that
I remember signing my first deal and now I'm the second best I can deal
With that
Now Bruno can show his ass, without the MTV awards gag

Verse 1: A few days before he turned 80
He was sittin' out back in a rocker
He said, "What you been up to lately?"
I told him, "Chasing a dollar"
And in between sips of coffee
He poured this wisdom out
Said, "If you want my two cents on making a dollar count
Chorus: Buy dirt
Find the one you can't live without
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Do what you love but call it work
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencil marks
And the grass in the yard all grow up"
'Cause the truth about it is
It all goes by real quick
You can't buy happiness
But you can buy dirt
Verse 2: Before you get caught on that ladder
Let me tell you what it's all about
Find you a few things that matter
That you can put a fence around
And then he laid it out

out on my bedroom floor, It's hard to say it, time to say it
A
Good-bye, Good-bye.

Every memory of walkin out the front door, I found the photo of the friend

Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends

I come undone at the things he said

We were all in love, and we all got hurt

The smell of gasoline in the summer heat,

It's all too sweet to last...

For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside and it's ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'

The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

B D
This is fucking awesome
--Carry on with the same chords for the whole song--
Walk up to the club like, What up, I got a big cock!
Nah, I'm just pumped, just bought some shit from the thrift shop
Ice on the fringe, it's so damn frosty
The people like, Damn! That's a cold ass honkey.
Rollin' in, hella deep, headin' to the mezzanine,
Dressed in all pink, 'cept my gator shoes, those are green
Draped in a leopard mink, girls standin' next to me
Probably shoulda washed this, smells like R. Kelly's sheets
(Piiisssssss)
But shit, it was ninety-nine cents! (Bag it)
Coppin' it, washin' it, 'bout to go and get some compliments
Passin' up on those moccasins someone else's been walkin' in
Bummy and grungy, fuck it man
I am stuntin' and flossin' and
Savin' my money and I'm hella happy that's a bargain,
I'ma take your grandpa's style, I'ma take your grandpa's style,
No for real - ask your grandpa - can I have his hand-me-downs? (Thank you)
Velour jumpsuit and some house slippers
Dookie brown leather jacket that I found diggin'
They had a broken keyboard, I bought a broken keyboard
I bought a skeet blanket, and then I bought a kneeboard
Hello, hello, my ace man, my Miller
John Wayne ain't got nothing on my fringe game, hell no
I could take some Pro Wings, make them cool, sell those
The sneaker heads would be like Aw, he got the Velcros
What you know about rockin' a wolf on your noggin?
What you knowin' about wearin' a fur fox skin?
I'm digging, I'm digging, I'm searching right through that luggage
One man's trash, that's another man's come up
Thank your granddad for donating that plaid button-up shirt
'Cause right now I'm up in her skirt
I'm at the Goodwill, you can find me in the (Uptons)
I'm that, I'm that sucker searchin' in that section (Uptons)
Your grammy, your aunty, your momma, your mammy
I'll take those flannel zebra jammies, second-hand, I rock that motherfucker
The built-in onesie with the socks on that motherfucker
I hit the party and they stop in that motherfucker
They be like, Oh, that Gucci - that's hella tight.
I'm like, Yo - that's fifty dollars for a T-shirt.
Limited edition, let's do some simple addition
Fifty dollars for a T-shirt - that's just some ignorant (shit)
I call that getting swindled and pimped (shit)
I call that getting tricked by a business
That shirt's hella dough
And having the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don't
Peep game, come take a look through my telescope
Trying to get girls from a brand? Then you hella won't
Then you hella won't
Bbm7 Fm7
You lift my heart up.
Eb Bbm7
when the rest of me is down.
(repeat the same chords during the whole song)
You, you enchant me, even when you're not around.
If there are boundaries, I will try to knock them down.
I'm latching on babe, now I know what I have found.
I feel we're close enough.
I want to lock in your love.
I think we're close enough.
Could I lock in your love baby.
Now I've got you in my space.
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace.
I'm latching onto you.
Now I've got you in my space.
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace.
I'm latching onto you.
I'm so encaptured, got me wrapped up in your touch.
Feel so enamored, hold me tight within your clutch.
How do you do it, you got me losing every breath.
What did you give me, to make my heart beat out my chest.
I feel we're close enough.
I want to lock in your love.
I think we're close enough.
Could I lock in your love baby.
I feel we're close enough.
I want to lock in your love.
I think we're close enough.
Could I lock in your love baby.
Now I've got you in my space.
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace.
I'm latching onto you.
Now I've got you in my space.

Got you shackled in my embrace.

I wish today it will rain all day
Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away
Trying to forgive you for abandoning me
Praying but I think I'm still an angel away
Angel away, yeah strange in a way
Maybe that is why I chase strangers away
They got their guns out aiming at me
But I become near when they aiming at me
Me, me, me against them
Me against enemies, me against friends
Somehow they both seem to become one
A sea full of sharks and they all see blood
They start coming and I start rising
Must be surprising, I'm just summising
Win, thrive, soar, higher, higher, higher
More fire

Suffocating everytime it locks me in
Paint they own pictures than they crop me in
But I will remain where the top begins
Cause I am not a word, I am not a line
I am not a girl that can every be defined
I am not fly, I am levitation
I represent an entire generation
I hear the criticism loud and clear
That is how I know that the time is near
So we become alive in a time of fear
And I aint got no muthaf-cking time to spare
Cry my eyes out for days upon days
Such a heavy burden placed upon me

I ain't scurr'd I Ain't worr'd About You and your cheap tricks
beat me till i'm numb never will i succomb

and then step up to the plate i will
stand tall and still spewing bad ass lick
hoping one day it will all pay off

Em
And we'll run to the future
C
Shining like diamonds in a rocky world
A rocky, rocky world
B
Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere
Am
As we march to the rhythm
On the palace floor
Em
Chandeliers inside the pyramid
C
Tremble from the force
B
Cymbals crash inside the pyramid
Am
Voices fill up the halls
Chorus-
Em C
Set the cheetahs on the loose
B Am
There's a thief out on the move
Em C
Underneath our legion's view
B Am
They have taken Cleopatra
Verse-
The jewel of Africa
(Jewel)
What good is a jewel that ain't still precious
How could you run off on me?
How could you run off on us?
You feel like God inside that gold
I found you laying down with Samson
And his full head of hair
Found my black queen Cleopatra
Bad dreams Cleopatra
Chorus-
Remove her
Send the cheetahs to the tomb
Our war is over, our queen has met her doom
No more she lives, no more serpent in her room
No more, it has killed Cleopatra, Cleopatra

Can we make love before you go
The way you say my name makes me feel like
I'm that
But I'm still unimplored
You say it's big but you take it
Ride cowgirl
But your love ain't free no more, baby
But your love ain't free no more
She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
That's right
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight

(Somethin' that I can't say is one and the same)
Ever since you told me
(only room for two, I've been makin' less room for you)
Only God can hold me
(judge me, the only Man that help me is above me, holla)
I met so many men and
It's like they?re all the same
My appetite for lovin'
Is now my hunger pain
And when I'm feelin' sexy
Who's gonna comfort
My only problem is
Their insecurity

Cause I'm real (The way you stare, the way you look, your style, your hair)
Cause I'm real (The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild)
Cause I'm real And I can't go on without you
Girl, I've been thinkin' bout this relationship And I wanna know
is this as good as it gets Cause we've been through
the worst times and the best times
But it was our time, even if it?s part-time
My baby lookin' at me, smilin' at me, laughin' like we wasn't happy
But not knowin', ever growin' and we're gettin' married
Hard lovin' and straight thuggin'
, I ain't doin' this for nuttin'
hoppin', poppin, let's ride up in the Benz
Hair blowin' in the wind, sun glistenin' off my skin, hey
and I'm nasty, and you know me
But you still don't mess with your baby
BRIDGE
CHORUS 2
Now people lovin' me and hatin' me and treatin' me ungratefully
But not knowin' that they ain't makin' or breakin' me
My life I live it to the limit and I love it
Now I can breathe again, baby, I can breathe again
people screamin' what the deal with you and so and so
I tell them es my z but they don't hear me though
I live my life to the limit and I love it
Now I could breathe again, baby, I could breathe again

War! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker.

War! it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker.
War! it's got one friend..that's the undertaker.
Ooooh, WAR! has shattered many a young man's dreams.

Life is much to short and precious to spend
fighting wars these days.
War! can't give life..It can only take it away.

[Verse 1]
Am F
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Am F
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
Am F
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Am F
Cries out My God they killed them all!
C F
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
G C F
The man the authorities came to blame
Dm C
For something that he never done
Dm C Em
Put in a prison cell but one time
Am F C G
He could have been the champion of the world
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 2]
Am F
Three bodies lyin’ there does Patty see
Am F
And another man named Bello, movin’ around mysteriously
Am F
I didn’t do it, he says, and he throws up his hands
Am F
I was only robbin’ the register, I hope you understand
C F
I saw them leavin’, he says, and he stops
G C F
One of us had better call up the cops
Dm C
And so Patty calls the cops
Dm C Em
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin’
Am F C G
In the hot New Jersey night
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 3]
Am F
Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Am F
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin’ around
Am F
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Am F
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
C F
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
G C F
Just like the time before and the time before that
Dm C
In Paterson that’s just the way things go
Dm C Em
If you’re black you might as well not show up on the street
Am F C G
’Less you wanna draw the heat
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 4]
Am F
Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Am F
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin’ around
Am F
He said, I saw two men runnin’ out, they looked like middleweights
Am F
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates
C F
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
G C F
Cop said, Wait a minute, boys, this one’s not dead
Dm C
So they took him to the infirmary
Dm C Em
And though this man could hardly see
Am F C G
They told him that he could identify the guilty men
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 5]
Am F
Four in the mornin’ and they haul Rubin in
Am F
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs
Am F
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin’ eye
Am F
Says, Wha’d you bring him in here for? He ain’t the guy!
C F
Yes, here’s the story of the Hurricane
G C F
The man the authorities came to blame
Dm C
For somethin’ that he never done
Dm C Em
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
Am F C G
The champion of the world
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 6]
Am F
Four months later, the ghettos are in flame
Am F
Rubin’s in South America, fightin’ for his name
Am F
While Arthur Dexter Bradley’s still in the robbery game
Am F
And the cops are puttin’ the screws to him, lookin’ for somebody to blame
C F
Remember that murder that happened in a bar?
G C F
Remember you said you saw the getaway car?
Dm C
You think you’d like to play ball with the law?
Dm C Em
Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin’ that night?
Am F C G
Don’t forget that you are white
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 7]
Am F
Arthur Dexter Bradley said, I’m really not sure
Am F
Cops said, A poor boy like you could use a break
Am F
We got you for the motel job and we’re talkin’ to your friend Bello
Am F
Now you don’t wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
C F
You’ll be doin’ society a favor
G C F
That sonofa is brave and gettin’ braver
Dm C
We want to put his ass in stir
Dm C Em
We want to pin this triple murder on him
Am F C G
He ain’t no Gentleman Jim
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 8]
Am F
Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
Am F
But he never did like to talk about it all that much
Am F
It’s my work, he’d say, and I do it for pay
Am F
And when it’s over I’d just as soon go on my way
C F
Up to some paradise
G C F
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
Dm C
And ride a horse along a trail
Dm C Em
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Am F C G
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 9]
Am F
All of Rubin’s cards were marked in advance
Am F
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
Am F
The judge made Rubin’s witnesses drunkards from the slums
Am F
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
C F
And to the black folks he was just a crazy er
G C F
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
Dm C
And though they could not produce the gun
Dm C Em
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
Am F C G
And the all-white jury agreed
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 10]
Am F
Rubin Carter was falsely tried
Am F
The crime was murder one, guess who testified?
Am F
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
Am F
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride
C F
How can the life of such a man
G C F
Be in the palm of some fool’s hand?
Dm C
To see him obviously framed
Dm C Em
Couldn’t help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Am F C G
Where justice is a game
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 11]
Am F
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Am F
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Am F
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
Am F
An innocent man in a living hell
C F
That’s the story of the Hurricane
G C F
But it won’t be over till they clear his name
Dm C
And give him back the time he’s done
Dm C Em
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
Am F C G
The champion of the world
