_ _ Three little boys were found in the river [A] on a sweltering [E] summer night.
Not one soul ever figured out [B] who created that terrible sight.
[E] But somebody's got no way of lovin' her.
[A] It's a horrible [E] offense.
But that's the way [B] they do things, nowhere [E] fair, girl.
They didn't like the music I listened to.
They [A] didn't like the way [E] I dress.
Set me up with a forced confession.
[B] I never had a chance.
They [E] threw the book at me and my ex-girlfriend.
[A] They got no [E] promises.
That's the way [B] they do things in [E] West Milford.
_ Yeah, that's the way [B] we do things in [E] West Milford.
_ That's the way we do things in [B] West Milford.
_ [E] It's never been any different.
So [A] don't come around here and try to mess with us.
[E] That's the way [B] we do things in [E] West Milford.

I _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ was framed and sentenced to a life in prison [A] for a crime I [E] didn't commit.
There wasn't nobody to listen.
[B] A rose to my defense.
_ [E] Somebody planted the evidence.
[A] And he's been lyin' [E] ever since.
That's the way [B] they do things in [E] West Milford.
_ After all these years, they still [A] refuse to say what [E] really happened.
The cooking method that they [B] used to frame an innocent man.
[E] They're hiding in the darkest secrets [A] behind every [E] picket fence.
That's the [B] way they do things [E] in West Milford.
_ Yeah, that's the [B] way we do things [E] in West Milford.
_ That's just the way we do things [B] in West Milford.
[E] It's never been any different.
[A] So don't come around here and try to mess with [E] us.
That's the [B] way they do things [E] in West Milford.
_ Yeah, that's the [B] way we do things [E] in West Milford.
