Verse 3
To (D major) a Mister James Reynolds
way back in
Verse 4
Seventeen ninety-one
(D major) Is Is that what you have,
are you done?
You are uniquely situated
by virtue of your position
Verse 5
Though (D major) 'virtue' is not a word
I'd apply to this situation
To seek financial gain,
to stray from your sacred mission
Verse 6
And (D major) the evidence suggests you've engaged
in speculation
An immigrant embezzling
our government funds
Verse 7
I can (D major) almost see the headline,
your career is done
I hope you saved some money
for your daughter and sons
Verse 8
Ya (D major) best g'wan run back
where ya come from (B minor)
Verse 9
Ha you don't even know what (F sharp major)
you're asking me to confess
Verse 10
Confess
(B minor) You have nothing,
I don't have to tell you anything (F sharp major) at all
Unless
Verse 11
Unless
(B minor) If I can prove that I
(F sharpaug) never broke the law
Do you (D major) promise not to tell another
(A flatdim) soul what you saw?
(G major) No one else was in the room
where it happened
(G minor) Is that a yes?
Um, (G major) yes
Verse 12
(D major)
Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds
you in good health
And in a prosperous enough position
to put wealth
In the pockets of people like
me, down on their luck
You see, that was my wife
Verse 13
who you decided to
(D major) What
She courted (E major) me
Escorted me to (D major) bed and when she
had me in a (E major) corner
That's (D major) when Reynolds extorted me
For a sordid (E major) fee
I paid him quarterly
I may have mortally wounded
my prospects
But my papers are orderly
(F sharp major) As you can see I kept a record of
every check in my checkered history
Check it again against your (D major) list
n' see con (F sharp major) sistency
I never spent a cent
that wasn't mine
You sent the dogs after my scent,
that's fine (G major)
Yes, I have reasons for shame
(D major) But I have (G major) not committed treason
and sullied my good name
As you can see I have done nothing
to provoke legal action
Are my answers to your satisfaction? (D major)
Verse 14
My God (D major)
Gentle (G minor) men, let's go (D minor)
So?
(D major) The people
Verse 15
won't know what we know
Verse 16
Burr (D major)
How do I know you won't
use this against me
The (C major) next time we (D major) go toe to (G minor) toe?
Verse 17
Alexander (D minor) , rumors only grow
(D major) And we both know what we know
