Capo: 2nd Fret 
     G
"Oh, help me in my weakness,"
            C/G     G
I heard the drifter say,
        G
As they carried him from the courtroom
                C/G  G
And were taking him away.
    G
"My trip hasn't been a pleasant one
               C/G   G
And my time it isn't long,
And I still do not know
                 C/G       G
What it was that I've done wrong."
      G
Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside,
            C/G    G
A tear came to his eye,
     G
"You fail to understand," he said,
              C/G  G
"Why must you even try?"
   G
Outside, the crowd was stirring,
                  C/G      G
You could hear it from the door.
Inside, the judge was stepping down,
               C/G       G
While the jury cried for more.
     G
"Oh, stop that cursed jury,"
             C/G            G
Cried the attendant and the nurse,
     G
"The trial was bad enough,
            C/G       G
But this is ten times worse."
     G
Just then a bolt of lightning
                      C/G    G
Struck the courthouse out of shape,
And while ev'rybody knelt to pray
            C/G  G
The drifter did escape.
Cheers 
Jack of Hearts
