Intro 1
(G major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 1
My mama (G major) always told me
better than to play (D major) with a loaded gun
If I'd've just listened to her
she'd've never had a prisoner (G major) for a son
The picture's still in front of my
eyes the (C major) echo in my (G major) ears
When the (D major) jury said he's guilty and
the judge said ninety- nine years (G major)
Oh for ninety- nine years I'll watch
the sunrise (D major) over that some old sea
Ninety- nine years nothing but
an empty cell (G major) for company
Yet there's not very much that stands
between me and the (C major) freedom I hold (G major) dear
Just a thousand (D major) bars a big brick wall
and a sentence of ninety- nine (G major) years

Verse 2
I kissed (G major) my darling on her tender
lips and they took me (D major) by the hand
I had a nice little ride on a ferry boat to
the rock (G major) where the prison stands
The warden said as he locked the
door I hope (C major) you'll like it here (G major)
Just make (D major) yourself a home you're gonna
be with us ninety- nine (G major) years
I've almost forgotten what my real name
is been a (D major) number for so long
Making little bitty rocks out of great big
rocks gets old (G major) as the days wear on
But I'll do my best for ninety- nine
years just try (C major) to stay alive (G major)
Cause the (D major) Governor said if I'd be good
I'd get out in ninety- five (G major)
Outro 1
Oh for ninety- nine years...
(G major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (D major) (A minor) (G major)
