Recorded by Gene Autry
(No Capo)
Intro.: (Eb) x 4 bars
(Chorus)
(Eb)Crime will never pay, (Eb7)folks
(Ab)Crime will never (Eb)pay
For (Eb)it's been proven time again
That (F)crime will (Bb)never (Eb)pay
The (Eb)road agents are rough and raw
There's (Ab)some in your home (Eb)town
They (Eb)operate within the law
It's (F)tough to pin 'em (Bb)down
The (Eb)sheriff and I are standin' by
With (Ab)good folks in the (Eb)land
To (Eb)take their loot and prosecute
And (F)make them (Bb)under-(Eb)stand
(Chorus)
(Eb)Crime will never pay, (Eb7)folks
(Ab)Crime will never (Eb)pay
For (Eb)it's been proven time again
That (F)crime will (Bb)never (Eb)pay
The (Eb)politicians do their best
Well, (Ab)some folks say they (Eb)try
For (Eb)when you put them to the test
There's (F)ointment 'round the (Bb)fly
Don't (Eb)underrate the folks back home
They're (Ab)readin' papers (Eb)too
For (Eb)when they vote, they vote alone
That's (F)why I'm a-(Bb)telling' (Eb)you
(Chorus)
(Eb)Crime will never pay, (Eb7)folks
(Ab)Crime will never (Eb)pay
For (Eb)it's been proven time again
That (F)crime will (Bb)never (Eb)pay -----
