West Memphis

  E7                               
Three little boys found in the 
         A                 E7
river on a sweltering summer night
Not one soul ever figured out who 
  B7
created that terrible sight
 E7                             
Somebody gotten away with murder 
           A          E7
that’s a horrible offense
                        B7         
But that’s the way they do things 
        E7
in West Memphis

  E7                        
They didn’t like the music I 
                            A      
listened to,  they didn’t like the 
         E7
way I dressed
Set me up with a forced confession, 
   B7
I never had a chance
                E7             
They threw the book at me at my 
                      A          
expense, they ain’t got no common 
   E7
sense
                        B7         
But that’s the way they do things 
        E7
in West Memphis

 E7                    B7         
Yeah that’s the way we do things 
        E7

West Memphis

        E7                         
I was framed and sentenced to life 
                  A           
in prison for a crime I didn’t 
    E7
commit
There wasn’t nobody to listen or 
 B7
rose to my defense
 E7                              
Somebody planted the evidence and 
             A         E7
he’s been lying ever since
                        B7         
But that’s the way they do things 
        E7
in West Memphis

  E7                             
After all these years, they still 
            A               E7
refuse to say what really happened
The crooked methods that they used 
     B7
to frame an innocent man
 E7                                
Hiding their darkest secrets behind
  A            E7
 every picket fence
                        B7         
But that’s the way they do things 
        E7
in West Memphis
