JACOB GREEN
Intro:  G 
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

 G
Jacobs father hired a team of lawyers inspections 
                        D
And long inquiries were held
            G
The sheriff then retired 
               Am                   D
And the papers said two guards were fired
     G                                        D
They put a brand new coat of paint on Jacob's cell
         G  
But like a tomb that looks so white and shiny
                                    D
Inside you'll find corruption never seen
    G                   Am
And somewhere out there tonight 
           G              D
In a dirty cell without a light
G                    D                G
There will be locked up another Jacob Green

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
