[Bbm] [Eb] [Ab]
My mama always told me better than to [Eb] play with a loaded gun
friend
[Db] The echo in my ear
the judge said 99 [Abm] years
years I watched the sun [Eb] rise over the lame old sea
[Bb] years, nothing but an empty [Abm] cell, no one company
[Ebm] much sense between me [Bbm] and the freedom I hold [Ab] dear
My mama always told me better than to [Eb] play with a loaded gun
friend
[Db] The echo in my ear
the judge said 99 [Abm] years
years I watched the sun [Eb] rise over the lame old sea
[Bb] years, nothing but an empty [Abm] cell, no one company
[Ebm] much sense between me [Bbm] and the freedom I hold [Ab] dear

_ _ My mama always told me better than to [Eb] play with a loaded gun
If I'd have just listened to her she'd have [Ab] never had a friend
For a son, the picture's still in front of my eyes
[Db] The echo in my ear
When [Eb] the jury said he's guilty and the judge said 99 [Abm] years
[Ab] Oh for 99 years I watched the sun [Eb] rise over the lame old sea
99 [Bb] years, nothing but an empty [Abm] cell, no one company
[Eb] Yes there's not very [Ebm] much sense between me [Bbm] and the freedom I hold [Ab] dear
Just [Eb] a thousand bars, a big brick wall [Bb] and the sentence of [Ab] 99 years
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] Well I've almost forgotten what my real name is, [Eb] it's been a number for so long
Making little bitty rocks out of great big rocks, [Ab] and sold it the days [F] whereon
[Ab] But I'll do my best for 99 [Db] years and try [Ab] to stay alive
Oh [Eb] the governor said if I'd be good I'd get out in [Ab] 95
_ Oh for 99 years I watched the sun rise [Eb] over the lame old sea
99 years, nothing but an [Ab] empty cell, no one [Bbm] company
Yes [Ab] there's not [Ab] very much sense between me [Db] and the freedom I hold dear
[Eb] Just a thousand bars, a big brick wall and the sentence of [Bbm] 99 _ _ [Ab] years
Thanks for watching! _
