chords or was able to translate the original version on piano by Morrissey. However I
was able to translate an almost identical (Chord wise) acoustic version by Colin Meloy
on "Colin Meloy Sings Morrissey." I found help with lyrics from "It May All End Tomorrow"

Morrissey
I've Changed My Plea to Guilty
from Viva Hate (UK) and My early Burglary Years

Intro:

C/EC/E G6G6 Am/E GbGb G6G6 (2X)

Verse 1:

C/EC/E          G6G6   Am/E        GbGb     G6G6
  I'm standing in the dock.  With my innocent hand on my heart.

FF   G6G6     C/EC/E C7/EC7/E       FF     G6G6   C majorC   C7/EC7/E
 I've changed my plea.       I've changed my plea to guilty.

    FF     E MajorE     Am/E  FF      GbGb       G6G6
Because freedom is wasted on me.  See how your rules spoil the game?

Verse 2:

C/EC/E            G6G6 Am/E    GbGb    G6G6       C/EC/E
  Outside there is a pain.   Emotional air raids exhausted my heart,

     G6G6      Am/E GbGb G6G6    FF     G6G6     C/EC/E C7/EC7/E
and it's safer to be inside.        So, I'm changing my plea,

FF     G6G6      C/EC/E C7/EC7/E      FF      E MajorE     Am/E
 and no one can dissuade me.    Because freedom was wasted on me.

FF      GbGb       G6G6
See how your rules spoil the game?

Verse 3:

C/EC/E         G6G6   Am/E      GbGb      G6G6
  Something I have learned,  if there is one thing in life I've observed,

C/EC/E     G6G6       Am/E  GbGb G6G6     FF  G6G6   C/EC/E C7/EC7/E
  it's that everybody's got somebody.       Ooh no, not me.

FF          G6G6   C/EC/E  C7/EC7/E    FF     E MajorE      Am/E
 So I've changed my plea to guilty.    And reason and freedom is a waste.

    FF  GbGb G6G6    C/EC/E
It's a lot like life.
