I've Got Rights

Intro:
C(add9)   D    G    D

D                  C(add9)     G
I went down to the Mary Carter paint
 store
        D                    
I said, \"Give me one of them
C(add9)        G
 Smith & Wesson Magnum 44's\"
D                            
Cause there's a man that the 
C(add9)           G
law let loose and justice was not 
done
F           G                     
This man he killed my wife and my 
C(add9)     D
only little son

I'll never forget the way he looked 
all through the trial
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
He had a big name lawyer and he had 
that smirky smile
Oh yea, he got off on a technicality
But you'll have to grow wings and 
fly to ever get away from me

Chorus:
            G                     
Cause I got rights, I got rights, 
D
too
    F                        G
And this time there won't be no damn
 lawyers
   C(add9)            D
Or systems to protect you
                G                  
Cause I'm gonna read you, I'm gonna
               D
 read you your rights
             F                 
You've got a right to know that 
 G
you're gonna go
   C(add9)                 D
To hell one of these black nights

When the trial was over, he had the 
nerve to say, \"That's the way it 
goes\"
Well, I said, \"Hoss, you better get
 some corks cause you're gonna have 
to plug
up a few holes\"
I guess he thought I was talking' 
just to pass away time
But he kinda looks different now on 
his knees beggin' for his life

Chorus
