[Verse 1]
Am C G Twelve men broke loose in '73 Am C G From Millhaven maximum security Am C G Twelve pictures lined up across the front page Am C G Seems the Mounties had a summertime war to wage Am C G The chief told the people they had nothing to fear Am C G The last thing they'd wanna do is hang around here Am C G They mostly came from towns with long French names Am C G But one of the dozen was a hometown shame
[Chorus]
C/G D Am Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall C/G D Am Been one seat empty 18 years in all C/G D Am Freezing slow time away from the world C/G D Am He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl C/G D Am He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl

Am Fmaj7/A Am C Gadd11/B G x2
[Verse 2]
Am C G We were sittin' at the table, heard the telephone ring Am C G Father said he'd tell 'em if he saw anything Am C G Heard the tap on the window in the middle of the night Am C G Held back the curtains for my older brother mike
[Bridge]
Am D See my sister got raped, so a man got killed C/G D Local boy went to prison, man's buried on the hill Am D Folks went back to normal when they closed the case C/G D They still stare at their shoes when they pass our place
[Solo]
C/G D Am Am x4
[Verse 3]
Am C G My mother cried the horror has finally ceased Am C G He whispered yeah, for the time being, at least Am C G And over his shoulder, on the squad car megaphone Am C G Said let's go Mikey, son, we're takin' you home
[Chorus]
C/G D Am Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall C/G D Am Been one seat empty 18 years in all C/G D Am Freezing slow time away from the world C/G D Am He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl C/G D Am He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl
