Текст песни Johnny Cash - Jacob Green

Jacob Green
Johnny Cash
I found some chords for this song on various websites, and none of them sounded 
quite right to me. So, I decided to tweak them up a bit. These chords may not be 
100% accurate, but they sound a lot better than the other chords floating around.

These chords are, in specific, for the live version on the CD/DVD " Concert 
Behind Prison Walls", but I'd imagine these, if slowed down, could apply to the 
version on the album "Murder".

-Standard Tuning-

-No Capo-

-Chords Are Played As Follows-
: 320003
: xx0232

Jacob Green got busted for possession
next morning early he appeared in court
But he was sent to jail to wait
to be trialed at some later date
Next morning early, there came a sad report
At the jail they took away his clothes to shame him
and to make sure Jacob Green had no pride left
They cut of all his hair
Today they found him hanging there
afraid to face the day he killed himself

It happened yesterday, and if you turn your head away
Somewhere in some dirty hole that scene will be rerun
Not only Jacob Green, but many more you've never seen
It could be someone that you love gets done
like Jacob Green got done
It could be someone that you love gets done
like Jacob Green got done

Jacobs father hired a team of lawyers
inspections and long inquiries were held
The sheriff then retired
and the papers said two guards were fired
They put a brand new coat of paint on Jacob's cell
But like a tomb that looks so white and shiny
inside you'll find corruption never seen
And somewhere out there tonight
In a dirty cell without a light
There will be locked up another Jacob Green

(End on )
