                               C 
They got the Younger brothers 
                           G 
They got plenty of others 

Fool enough to cower and crawl 
Em           D         C  ~ ~    G       C-G 
Shackled and chained behind high walls 


                                            C 
They say I've made more widows and orphans 
                               G 
Enough to fill twenty coffins 

They won't hear my side at all 
            Em       D     C  ~ ~    G      G-F 
Yet they'll lock me away behind high walls
