Twenty One Years chords

THE[G]judge said stand up lad and dry up your[D]tears

Your sentenced to Dartmoor for twenty one[G]years

So dry up your tears babe and kiss me good[D]bye

For the[D]best friends must part lad and so must you and[G]I

I hear the train coming t'will be here at nine
To take me to Dartmoor to serve up my time
I look down railway and what do I see
You standing there waving good bye to me

Six months have gone by son, I wish I were dead
This cold weary prison, a stone for my head
It's raining it's hailing,the moon gives no light
Oh wont you tell me babe, why you never write

I've counted the day babe I've counted the nights
I've counted the footsteps I've counted the lights
I'VE be counted the raindrops I've counted the stars
I'VE counted a million of these prison bars

I waited I trusted I longed for the day
A lifetime so lonely now my hair's turning grey
But my thoughts are for you babe till I'm out of my mind
For twenty one years is a mighty long
