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
