Intro: Am C Dm C X2

Verse 1:
Am           C            Dm          C
I hear the bells of freedom chiming
        Am            C        Dm        C
And inside my heart I feel I'm dying
Am            C         Dm         C
Wise guys never compromise
                 Am              C                     Dm          C
Then they loose their rights and they act surprised
Am          C            Dm         C
Jail really cuts ya down to size

Chorus:
              Am              F          G
Let the punishment fit the crime
        Am            F          G
The footprints on the sand of time
        Am              F         G
The philosophy of the poet's rhyme
             Am    F          G
Make a man humble in his prime

Am              C               Dm    C
You can go up, down, or sideways

Be on death row, counting the days
          Am       C                  Dm                 C
They say the answers are blowin' in the wind
             Am                C                        Dm   C
And to take yourself out would really be a sin
Am                      C                      Dm    C
You just have to cope and start over again

And life makes promises it can't keep
                       Am         C     Dm         C
And then you feel you had, had enough
        Am C           Dm           C
You realize somehow, someway

Your destiny was planned from the very first day
