No Judgement Day

C                      F         
    Willie Johnson was locking up
                  C     F
 his store Monday night
C                        F       

             C     F

    And someone snuck in and they 
commenced a fight
C                             F  
    His wife Emilia found him 
                  C     F
lying on the freezer floor
C                            
Now this sleepy little town, it 
G                  C    F
ain't sleepy no more

    Sheriff Walker holds three 
            C   F
local boys in jail
C                        F       
    They confessed right down to 
            C   F
the last detail
C                           F    
    They beat Willie with a bat, 
                C   F
He was 70 years old
C                                 
Then they bought some beer with 
  G                C F C
the six dollars they stole

[Chorus]
     G                     
Well I know my anger is not 
             C
politically cool
     G                              
       C (walk down)F    Am
But, brother we're in danger when 
kids can be so cruel as to kill for 
play,
              C           F    
Dear God have mercy we're living 
                    C  G        C
just like there's no judgment day

C                      F         
    Billy Haney is the youngest 
            C       F
of the three accused
C                            F   
    His grandpa got him as a baby
            C      F
 hungry and abused
C                          F     
    But no one guessed the depth 
                 C     F
of his emotional scars
C                           G    
Till we saw him on the news 
                 C F C
grinning like a movie star


[Chorus 2]
     G                     
Well I know my anger is not

politically cool
     G                              
     C (walk down) F            Am
But, brother we're in danger when we
 can be so cruel, as throw our kids 
away

Dear God have mercy we're living

[Verse 4]
C                              F 
    Today the headlights lined up
                  C    F
 in the drizzling rain
C                    F           
    To the graveyard stretched a 
          C     F
five mile chain
C                              F 
    And we laid to rest one of 
                  C    F
this towns sweetest souls
       C                   G (hold 4
 beats)                     C  F  C 
F C
And we buried the peace we know     
          in that very same hole
