He took about five minutes and walked away.
Holding a brick in his [D] right hand.
The server [G] had read the first degree.
[C] I shouted, Lordy, lordy, please have mercy on me.
The judge smiled, I was a man.
[G] 99 years in San Quentin Jail.
99 years underneath that [D] crown.
I can't forget the day I shot that damn good man.

[F] [C]
