Intro: C(add9) D G D D C(add9) G I went down to the Mary Carter paint store D C(add9) G I said, "Give me one of them Smith & Wesson Magnum 44's" D C(add9) G Cause there's a man that the law let loose and justice was not done F G C(add9) D This man he killed my wife and my only little son I'll never forget the way he looked all through the trial He had a big name lawyer and he had that smirky smile Oh yea, he got off on a technicality But you'll have to grow wings and fly to ever get away from me Chorus: G D Cause I got rights, I got rights, too F G And this time there won't be no damn lawyers C(add9) D Or systems to protect you G D Cause I'm gonna read you, I'm gonna read you your rights F G You've got a right to know that you're gonna go C(add9) D To hell one of these black nights When the trial was over, he had the nerve to say, "That's the way it goes" Well, I said, "Hoss, you better get some corks cause you're gonna have to plug up a few holes" I guess he thought I was talking' just to pass away time But he kinda looks different now on his knees beggin' for his life Chorus
