[Intro]

C#m B A

[Verse 1]

C#m B

He lived right across the street

It was on the news for the world to see

They caught with his hands on a neighbour's child

C#m B

Now he swore he never done it before

And he cried before the judge and court

So they sent him away for a just a little while

Morning found him in his cell

Somebody sent him straight to hell

F# A

Begging for mercy down on his knees

Sounds like justice to me

Go you on your dirty work

In your tailor suit and your clean white shirt
