Glen Campbell – 99 Years (Guitar)

   G
My Mamma always taught me better 

        D
than to play with a loaded gun

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                                      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

            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

     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
