Intro 1
G
Verse 1
G
Jacob Green got busted
for possession
Next morning early he appeared in court
C
But he was sent to jail to wait
G
Em
To be trialed at some later date
G
Next morning early,
D
there came a sad report
G
At the jail they took away his
clothes to shame him
Verse 2
G
And to make sure Jacob
Green had no pride left
C
They cut of all his hair
G
Em
Today they found him hanging there
G
D
Afraid to face the day he
G
killed himself
Verse 3
C
[Chorus] It happened
D
yesterday,
C
G
and if you turn your head away
Em
Somewhere in some dirty hole
G
D
the scene will be rerun
C
D
Not only Jacob Green,
C
G
but many more you've never seen
It could be someone that
Em
you love gets done
D
G
Like Jacob Green got done
It could be someone that
Em
you love gets done
D
Like Jacob Green got done
G
Verse 4
Jacobs father hired a team
of lawyers
Inspections and long inquiries were held
C
The sheriff then retired
G
And the papers said two
Em
guards were fired
G
They put a brand new coat
D
of paint on Jacob's cell
G
But like a tomb that looks
so white and shiny
Inside you'll find corruption never seen
C
And somewhere out there tonight
G
Em
In a dirty cell without a light
G
There will be locked up an
D
other Jacob Green
G
[Chorus]
