Intro 1
(G major)
Verse 1
Jacob Green got busted (G major)
for possession
Next morning early he appeared in court
But he was (C major) sent to jail to wait
To be (G major) trialed at some later date (E minor)
Next morning (G major) early,
there came a sad (D major) report
At the jail (G major) they took away his
clothes to shame him

Verse 2
And to make (G major) sure Jacob
Green had no pride left
They (C major) cut of all his hair
Today they found (G major) him hanging (E minor) there
Afraid (G major) to face the day (D major) he
killed him (G major) self
Verse 3
[Chorus] It happened (C major)
yester (D major) day,
and if you turn (C major) your head away (G major)
Some (E minor) where in some dirty hole
the scene (G major) will be rerun (D major)
Not only (C major) Jacob Green, (D major)
but many more (C major) you've never seen (G major)
It could be someone that
you love (E minor) gets done
Like Jacob (D major) Green got done (G major)
It could be someone that
you (E minor) love gets done
Like Jacob (D major) Green got done
(G major)
Verse 4
Jacobs father hired a team
of lawyers
Inspections and long inquiries were held
The (C major) sheriff then retired
And the papers (G major) said two
guards were fired (E minor)
They put a (G major) brand new coat
of paint on Jacob's cell (D major)
But like (G major) a tomb that looks
so white and shiny
Inside you'll find corruption never seen
And somewhere (C major) out there tonight
In a dirty cell (G major) without a light (E minor)
There will be (G major) locked up an
(D major) other Jacob Green
(G major) [Chorus]
