 VERSE 1:  Main Riff with lyrics
 
      There was a friend of mine on murder
      And the judge's gavel fell
      Jury found him guilty
 
 play Fill 1 instead of Main Riff for this measure (Verse 1 only):
      Gave him sixteen years in hell
 
 FILL 1:
 
    detune this note by unwinding tuning peg

 continue main riff with lyrics
 
      He said, I ain't spendin' my life here
      I ain't livin' alone
      Ain't breakin no rocks on the chain gang
      I'm breakin' out and headin' home
 
 
 
 BRIDGE:  main riff with lyrics
 
      I'm gonna make a Jailbreak
      And I'm lookin' towards the sky
      I'm gonna make a Jailbreak
      Ah how I wish that I could fly

 VERSE 2:  Main Riff with lyrics
 
      He said he'd seen his lady bein' fooled with
      By another man
      She was down and he was up
      Had a gun in his hand
 
      Uh...bullets started flyin' everywhere
      N'people started to scream
      Big man lyin' on the ground
      With a hole in his body where his life had been
 
 
 
 
  but it was all in the name of liberty
    A5                    D5 D5 D5 D5    A5               D5 D5 D5 D5
