A D A D
A D
The people shouting, they bawling for murder
A D
Made up their mind and they want to take his life
A D
The gavel pounding calling them to order
A D
Made up their mind and they want to take his life
A D
A man in handcuffs pleads to the charges
A D
Made up their mind and they want to take his life
A D
But the trial is over before it is started
A D
Made up their mind and they want to take his life
CHORUS:
A E7
He did not stand a chance
F#m D A E7
Convicted by circumstantial evidence
F#m D
And hurried defense
A E7
He could not bear the expense
F#m D
To maintain his innocence
A
Too poor to aford
E7 A
To change the minds on the bench.
A D A D
A D
Crowded courtroom impatiently waiting
A D
Made up their mind and they want to take
A D
Jury in the back room deliberating
A D
Made up their mind and they want to take
A D
And if you don’t know if their will acquit or
A D
Made up their mind and they want to take
A D
The look on their faces would tell you the
A D
Made up their mind and they want to take
A E7
Already sentenced by the press
F#m D A
There was never any contest, no chance to debate
E7 F#m D
The facts of the case
A E7
But the just outrage of the town
F3m D
Had rushed the case of the crown
A
To put out the ames
E7 A
They found a man to bear the blame
A D A D
A D A D
A D A D
A D A D
A D
Whoever said justice was blind and impartial
A D
Made up their mind and they want to take his life
A D
Never went to the trial of young Henry Marshall
A D
Made up their mind and they want to take his life
A D
He had no lyrics to woo and to sway her
A D
Made up their mind and they want to take his life
A D
No gold to tip her scales in his favour
A D
Made up their mind and they want to take his life
A E7
When the hangman opened the door
F#m D
And he vanished through the door
A
The crowd started to roar
E7 F#m D
Thought they settled the score
A E7
Blind to their transgression
F#m D
Innocent blood on their hands
A E7 F#m D
They led out the yard Everyone a murderer
A E7 F#m D
They led out the yard Everyone a murderer
A E7 F#m D
They led out the yard Everyone a murderer
A E7 F#m D
They led out the yard Everyone a murderer
