[Verse 1]
Cm Gsus4 Have you heard the dogs at night Cm Fm/Ab Somewhere on the hill Fm7 Cm Chasing some poor criminal Gsus4 And I guess they're out to kill Cm Gsus4 Oh there must be shackles on his feet Cm Fm/Ab And mother in his eyes Fm7 Cm Stumbling through the devil-dark G With the hound pack in full cry
[Chorus]
Ab Bb Have mercy on the criminal Cm Cm/Bb Who is running from the law Ab Bb Are you blind to the winds of change Cm Cm/Bb Don't you hear him any more Ab Ab/G Praying Lord you got to help me Fm I ain't ever gonna sin again Cm Bb F7 Just take these chains from around my legs Ab G Cm Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend
[Verse 2]
Cm Gsus4 Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam Cm Fm/Ab While you lie on a cold damp ground Fm7 Cm You're taking in the face of a rifle butt Gsus4 While the wardens hold you down Cm Gsus4 And you've never seen a friend in years Cm Fm/Ab Oh it turns your heart to stone Fm7 Cm You jump the walls and the dogs run free Gsus4 And the grave's gonna be your home
[Chorus] (x2)
Ab Bb Ooh, Have mercy on the criminal Cm Cm/Bb Who is running from the law Ab Bb Are you blind to the winds of change Cm Cm/Bb Don't you hear him any more Ab Ab/G Praying Lord you got to help me Fm I ain't ever gonna sin again Cm Bb F7 Just take these chains from around my legs Ab G Cm Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend
