My mama always told me better than to play with a loaded gun
        E                                                                                                                              A  
If I'd've just listened to her she'd've never had a prisoner for a son
          A                                                                                                         D                         A  
The picture's still in front of my eyes, the echo in my ears
                        E                                                                                                                                         A  
When the jury said he's guilty and the judge said ninety-nine years
                     A                                                                                                            E  
Oh, for ninety-nine years I'll watch the sun rise over that same old sea
E                                                                                                    A  
Ninety-nine years nothing but an empty cell for company
                                A                                                                                                                    D                                    A  
Yet there's not very much that stands between me and the freedom I hold dear
                  E                                                                                                                                                                 A  
Just a thousand bars, a big brick wall and a sentence of ninety-nine years
I kissed my darling on her tender lips and they took me by the hand
