verse 1
G
My Mamma always taught me better
D
than to play with a loaded gun
If I'd just listened to her
D7 G
She'd never had a prisoner for a son
G7
The pictures still in front of my eyes
C G
And the echo in my ears
D
The jury said he's guilty
D7 G
And the judge said 99 years
G D D7 G C G
verse 2
G G7
Well I kissed my Darlin' on her tender lips
D
and she took me by the hand
D7
I had a nice little ride on a ferry boat
G
To the rocks where the prison stands
G7
The Warden said as he locked the door
C G
Well I hope you like it here
D
Just make yourself at home
D7 G
you're gonna be with us 99 years
verse 3
D
I've been a number for so long
D7
Making little-bitty rocks outta great big rocks
G
Gets old as the days wear on
G7
But I'll do my best for 99 years
C G
Just try to stay alive
D
But the Warden said if I do good
D7 G
I'll get out in 95
verse 4
D
rise over that same ole scene
D7 G
99 years with nothin' but an empty cell for company
G7
Yes there's not very much that stands between me
C G
And the freedom I hold dear
D D7
Just a thousand bars and a big thick wall
D C G
And a sentence of 99 years
