Life In Prison

[Intro] C F

[Verse 1]
        F                       C
The jury found the verdict first 
degree
                                 F
They swore I planned her death to be
                              C
I prayed they'd sentence me to die
But they wanted me to live and I 
    F
know why

[Chorus]
         F                      C
So I'd do life in prison for the 
wrongs I've done

And I pray every night for death to 
F
come
                              C
My life will be a burden every day
                                F
If I could die, my pain might go 
away

[Instrumental] F C C F   x2

[Verse 2]
              F                 
With trembling hands I killed my 
        C
darling wife
                             F
Because I loved her more than life
My love for her will last a long, 
    C
long time
But I'd rather die than live to lose
   F
 my mind

[Chorus]
           F                      
And I'll do life in prison for the 
C
wrongs I've done
And I pray every night for death to 
F
come
                              C
My life will be a burden every day
                                F
If I could die, my pain might go 
away
          C                     
If I could die, my pain might go 
F     C F
away...
