  Dm                    Am
Appeal to the governor, of Louisiana

    G                     Am
You may get an answer the process is slow

Dm                 Am
Federal court won, too much to open

He's been there for five years and they won't let him go
[Chorus]
Dm                Am

Dm                   Am
His gun was planted, no matching bullets

   G                        Am
No points on the handle, no proof to show
