99 Years chords

Intro [Bm] [Am] [Bm] [D] [Am] [G] [C] [G] [Bm]

[VERSE 1]

My [G]Mamma always taught me better
than to [D]play with a loaded gun

If I'd just listened to her
[D7]She'd never had a [G]prisoner for a son
The pictures still in [G7]front of my eyes
And the [C]echo in my [G]ears
The [D]jury said he's guilty
And the j[D7]udge said 99 [G]years

riff [G] [D] [D7] [G] [C] [G]

[VERSE 2]

[G]Well I kissed my Darlin' on her tender [G7]lips
and she [D]took me by the hand
I had a nice little ride on a [D7]ferry boat
To the [G]rocks where the prison stands
The [G7]Warden said as he locked the door
Well I [C]hope you like it [G]here
Just [D]make yourself at home
you're gonna be [D7]with us 99 [G]years

[VERSE 3]

Well I've almost forgotten

what my real name is
I've been a [D]number for so long
Making [D7]little-bitty rocks outta great big rocks
Gets [G]old as the days wear on
But I'll do my best for [G7]99 years
Just [C]try to stay [G]alive
But the [D]Warden said if I do good
I'll [D7]get out in [G]95

[VERSE 4]

Oh for 99 years I'll watch the sun
rise [D]over that same ole scene
[D7]99 years with nothin' but an empty [G]cell for company
Yes there's not very much that [G7]stands between me
And the [C]freedom I hold [G]dear
Just a [D]thousand bars and a [D7]big thick wall
And a [D]sentence of 99 [C]years [G]
