The Crime I Didn't Do chords by Lonesome River Band

Chords with lyrics

A minorAm        G+G                  A minorAm
I was raised in a small mill town, a factory worker's son
A minorAm        G+G          D MajorD
Left my home and family at the age of 21

A minorAm      G+G                  A minorAm
I set out to find my way in a strange and distant town
A minorAm          G+G         D MajorD
Hadn't been there a year or more when trouble came around

A minorAm      G+G               A minorAm
I operate an old punch press, work all by myself
A minorAm                 G+G        D MajorD
I make no friends or enemies, just parts from 4 to 12;
   A minorAm    G+G  A minorAm
just parts from 4 to 12

A minorAm                 G+G       A minorAm
One night as I was walking home, I heard an awful sound
A minorAm                  G+G         D MajorD
Footsteps running out of sight by the time I turned around

A minorAm                G+G      A minorAm
Shaken by the dreadful scene, it came into my sight
A minorAm                  G+G          D MajorD
A augmentedA young man lying cold and still, beneath the dim street light

A minorAm                   G+G        A minorAm
Dear Mother, say a prayer for me, and please try not to cry
A minorAm                  G+G     D MajorD
I swear to you I killed no one, but I had no alibi;
    A minorAm   G+G A minorAm
Lord, I had no alibi

A minorAm             G+G       A minorAm
Now I'm a hunted fugitive, running for my life
A minorAm                   G+G        D MajorD
A augmentedA wanted man ain't got a chance when he has no place to hide

A minorAm                  G+G          A minorAm
I know someday they'll find me, and I know that when they do
A minorAm                 G+G       D MajorD
I'll have to pay the penalty for a crime I didn't do;
   A minorAm    G+G  A minorAm
For a crime I didn't do
