Chords
From the upcoming album This Machine Still Kill Fascists.
Meant to be played on one acoustic guitar mimicking the bass line (If not you can play C
instead of C/G). So in the intro, verses and outro you pick open E -> strum, second fret A -> strum for Em
and third fret A -> strum, third fret E -> strum for the C/G.
* = One strum
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em It's a long old time in a hard rock jail Em It's a long old time gone by C/G B7 It's a long old time I've laid in jail Em* Em And I still got 99 Em You see I set myself in a gambling game Em And I couldn't half play my hand C/G B7 I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved Em Run away with another man Em Run away with another man Em Run away with another man C/G B7 I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved Em Run away with another man Em The cards come 'round the table, Lord Em I had such a worried mind C/G B7 My stack of gold, I wasted away Em And I lost 'bout 99 Em I lost 'bout 99 Em I lost 'bout 99 C/G B7 My stack of gold, I wasted away Em And I lost 'bout 99 Em I walked into the hock shop, boys Em I got me a big 44 C/G B7 I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved Em That I'd never see no more Em That I'd never see no more Em That I'd never see no more C/G B7 I was thinking 'bout that woman I loved Em That I'd never see no more
[Instrumental]
Am C Em x2 (Guitar 1 continues playing Em and C/G, but if you wanna play like the original
on one guitar Am, C and Em sounds best)
[Verse 2]
Em It wasn't long 'til I seen him again Em He run away, left her behind C/G B7 I laid him low with my old 44 Em And the judge give me 99 Em The judge give me 99 Em The judge give me 99 C/G B7 I laid him low with my old 44 Em And the judge give me 99 Em The jury said "You'll have to pay" Em The clerk, he looked around C/G B7 The mean old judge, he spoke my number, Lord Em* Two 6's upside down Em Two 6's upside down Em Two 6's upside down C/G B7 The mean old judge, he called my number, Lord Em Two 6's upside down
[Chorus]
Am It's a long old time in a hard rock jail C It's a long old time gone by Em It's a long old time I've laid in jail Em And I still got 99 Am It's a long old time in a hard rock jail C It's a long old time gone by Em It's a long old time laid in this jail Em And I still got 99
[Outro]
Em Two 6's upside down Em Two 6's upside down
