[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
(G)
Jacob Green got busted for 
possession
next morning early he appeared in 
 D
court
            C
But he was sent to jail to wait
              G              C
to be trialed at some later date
     G                             
Next morning early, there came a 
     D
sad report
       G
At the jail they took away his 
clothes to shame him
Continues after the ad
and to make sure Jacob Green had no 
      D
pride left
     C
They cut of all his hair
           G                 C
Today they found him hanging there
    G              D           
afraid to face the day he killed 
    G
himself

[Chorus]
    C              D            
It happened yesterday, and if you 
   C               G
turn your head away
                              C  
Somewhere in some dirty hole that 
                 D
scene will be rerun
    C           D              C 
Not only Jacob Green, but many 
                G
more you've never seen
                             C   
It could be someone that you love 
      G
gets done
      D              G
like Jacob Green got done
                             C   
It could be someone that you love 
      G
gets done
      D              G
like Jacob Green got done

[Verse 2]
Jacobs father hired a team of 
lawyers
inspections and long inquiries were 
held
The sheriff then retired
and the papers said two guards were 
fired
They put a brand new coat of paint 
on Jacob's cell
But like a tomb that looks so white 
and shiny
inside you'll find corruption never 
seen
And somewhere out there tonight
In a dirty cell without a light
There will be locked up another 
Jacob Green
