[Verse 1]
(G)
Jacob Green got busted for possession
D
next morning early he appeared in court
C
But he was sent to jail to wait
G C
to be trialed at some later date
G D
Next morning early, there came a sad report
G
At the jail they took away his clothes to shame him
D
and to make sure Jacob Green had no pride left
C
They cut of all his hair
G C
Today they found him hanging there
G D G
afraid to face the day he killed himself
[Chorus]
C D C G
It happened yesterday, and if you turn your head away
C D
Somewhere in some dirty hole that scene will be rerun
C D C G
Not only Jacob Green, but many more you've never seen
C G
It could be someone that you love gets done
D G
like Jacob Green got done
C G
It could be someone that you love gets done
D G
like Jacob Green got done
[Verse 2]
Jacobs father hired a team of lawyers
inspections and long inquiries were held
The sheriff then retired
and the papers said two guards were fired
They put a brand new coat of paint on Jacob's cell
But like a tomb that looks so white and shiny
inside you'll find corruption never seen
And somewhere out there tonight
In a dirty cell without a light
There will be locked up another Jacob Green
