🎸 Verse 2:
Em C Em/G Am
Stop the murders, deter the crimes away
Em C Em/G Am
Only killing shows killing doesn't pay
F Dm
Yes, that's the kind of law it takes
G Em
Even though we make mistakes
F Dm Am G Am
And sometimes send the wrong man to the chair
🎸 Verse 3:
Em C Em/G Am
In the death row waiting for their turn
Em C Em/G Am
No time to change, not a chance to learn
F Dm
Waiting for someone to call
G Em
Say it's over after all
F Dm Am G Am
They won't have to face the justice of the chair
🎸 Verse 4:
Em C Em/G Am
Just before they serve him one last meal
Em C Em/G Am
Shave his head, oh, they ask him how he feels
F Dm
Then the warden comes to say goodbye
G Em
Reporters come to watch him die
F Dm Am G Am
Watch him as he's strapped into the chair
🎸 Verse 5:
Em C Em/G Am
And the chaplain, he reads the final prayer
Em C Em/G Am
"Be brave, my son, the Lord is waiting there"
F Dm
Oh, murder is so wrong you see
G Em
Both the Bible and the courts agree
F Dm Am G Am
That the state's allowed to murder in the chair
🎸 Verse 6:
Em C Em/G Am
In the courtroom, watch the balance of the scales
Em C Em/G Am
If the price is right, there's time for more appeals
F Dm
The strings are pulled, the switch is stayed
G Em
The finest lawyers fees are paid
F Dm Am G Am
And a rich man never died upon the chair
🎸 Verse 7:
Em C Em/G Am
Have you seen the iron lady's charms
Em C Em/G Am
Legs of steel, leather on her arms
F Dm
Taking on a man to die
G Em
A life for a life, an eye for an eye
F Dm Am G Am
And that's the iron lady in the chair
