young to swing

Craig shot Sidney Miles, he took 
Bentley's word
the prosecution claimed as they 
charged him with murder...


Bridge
         G          D            
Well its hard to imagine its the 
Am7
times that have changed
              G                    
when theres a murder in the kitchen

 that is brutal and strange
   G           D          Am7    
If killing anybody is a terrible 
                    D

            C              B7

They said Derek Bentley was easily 
led
well whats that to the women that 
sidney miles wed
though guilty was the verdict and 
craig had shot him dead
the gallows were for bentley and 
still she never said...

Not many people thought that bentley
 would hang
but the word never came the phone 
never rang
outside wandsworth prison there was 
horror and hate
as the hangman shook bentleys hand 
to calculate his weight....

From a welfare state to society 
murder
bring back the noose is always heard
whenever thos swine are under attack
but it wont make you even it wont 
bring him back...
