Verse 1
A
Bm
A
Ah, it ain't so easy is it?
D
E
You almost lost your place.
A
Bm
And perhaps you're wondering how you're
D
E
going to cope with your disgrace.
A
Bm
Well your wealth is well established and
D
E
your friends were never few,
And all the things they told you of
A
you're finding to be true.
Bm
Well if truth can free the guilty
D
E
while the innocent must die,
A
Bm
Then I respect, respect,
D
E
A
respect the coldest lie.
Verse 2
A
Bm
A
And you talk of human justice while
D
E
you drive on fancy wheels.
A
Bm
An d you push them to their limit
D
E
just to see how nice it feels.
A
Bm
Well it doesn't really matter
D
E
if she's living or she's dead,
You just drive away forgetting that
A
your bumper's dipped in red.
Bm
Well if that's the kind of justice
D
E
that our hall of justice claims,
A
Bm
Then I respect, respect,
D
E
A
respect old Jesse James.
Verse 3
Bm
A
And most cordially they caught you
D
E
and they asked you to obey.
A
Bm
And they threw you into prison,
D
E
just in case you could not pay.
A
Bm
Well King Arthur jousted Lancelot,
D
E
who stole away his wife;
And your lawyers jousted with the
A
court to save your precious life.
Bm
Well if living is what matters though
D
E
you lie with every breath,
A
Bm
Then I respect, respect,
D
E
A
the ones we put to death.
Verse 4
A
Bm
A
And you won your case most easily
D
E
and soon you will be free.
A
Bm
But there will be a million more
D
E
who lose their liberty.
A
Bm
Not because of what they did,
D
E
but what they did not do:
They did not pay a lawyer or
A
a judge to see them through.
Bm
Why, they had no friends to call on
D
E
and they could not raise their bail.
A
Bm
Well if winning is what matters,
D
E
A
I respect the ones who fail
