[INTRO]
[G] [A] [C] [D]
[D]I went to a party at the local county [G]jail
[D]All the cons were dancing and the men began to [G]wail
But the [A]guys were indiscrete they were [G]balling in the street
At the [D]local dance at the [A]local county j[D]ail [A]
[D]Well the band were playing and the booze began to [G]flow
[D]But the sound came over on the police car [G]radio
[A]Down at Precinct 49 having a [G]tear gas of a time
[D]Sergeant Baker got a call from the [A]governor of the County [D]Jail [A]
[Bm]load up load up load up with rubber [G]bullets
[Bm]load up load up load up with rubb[G]er bullets
I love to [Em]hear those convicts [A]squeal
It's a sh[Em]ame these slugs ain't [A]real
But we [D]can't have dancing at the [A]local county j[D]ail [A]
[D]Sergeant Baker and his men made a beeline for the [G]jail
[D]And for miles around you could hear the sirens [G]wail
There's a [A]rumour going down death row that a [G]fuse is going to blow
at the [D]local hop at the [A]local county [D]jail What you gonna do about it what you gonna do[Eb]
[E]what uou gonna do about it what you gonna do
[SOLO]
[G] [A] [C] [D]
[D]Sergeant Baker started talking with a bullhorn in his hand
[Dm]He was cool he was clear he was he was always in command
He said [G]blood will flow here padre [Em] [A]
[Em]Padre you [F#m]talk to your [G]boys
[G]Trust in [A]me [D]God [A]will [D]come[Eb] to [Em]set[F#m] you [C]free
[F] [F#] [G] [G#] [A] [Bb] [B]
[D]Well we don't understand why he called in the National G[G]uard
[D]When Uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise [G]yard
[A]We all got balls and brains
[G]but some's got balls and chains
[D]at the local dance at the [A]local county [D]jail [A]
[Bm]load up load up load up with rubber [G]bullets
[Bm] [G]
load up load up load up with rubber bullets
Is it [Em]really such a [A]crime for a [Em]guy to spend his [A]time
at the [D]local dance at the [A]local county [D]jail
at the [D]local dance at the [A]local county [D]jail what you gonna do about what you gonna do[Eb]
[E]what uou gonna do about it what you gonna do
