Life in Prison (guitar Chords) Songtext

von The Byrds

F C7
The jury found the verdict first degree
F
They swore I planned her death to be
F C7
I prayed they'd sentence me to die
F
But they wanted me to live and I know why
F C7
So I'd do life in prison for the wrongs I've done
F
And I pray every night for death to come
F C7
My life will be a burden every day
F
If I could die my pain might go away

SOLO

F C7
with trembling hands I killed my darling wife
C7 F
Because I loved her more than life
C7
My love for her will last a long long time
F
But I'd rather die than live to lose my mind
C7
And I'll do life in prison for the wrongs I've done
F
And I pray every night for death to come
C7
My life will be a burden every day
F
If I could die my pain might go away
C7 F
If I could die my pain might go away
