I've Got Rights

• C(add9)

Intro: 
C(add9)   D    G    D 
 
D                  C(add9)     G  
I went down to the Mary Carter paint store 
        D                    C(add9)        G  
I said, "Give me one of them Smith & Wesson Magnum 44's" 
D                            C(add9)           G  
Cause there's a man that the law let loose and justice was not done 
F           G                     C(add9)     D 
This man he killed my wife and my only little son 
 
I'll never forget the way he looked all through the trial 
He had a big name lawyer and he had that smirky smile 
Oh yea, he got off on a technicality 
But you'll have to grow wings and fly to ever get away from me 
 
Chorus: 
            G                     D  
Cause I got rights, I got rights, too 
    F                        G 
And this time there won't be no damn lawyers 
   C(add9)            D 
Or systems to protect you 
                G                                 D 
Cause I'm gonna read you, I'm gonna read you your rights 
             F                  G 
You've got a right to know that you're gonna go 
   C(add9)                 D 
To hell one of these black nights 
 
When the trial was over, he had the nerve to say, "That's the way it goes" 
Well, I said, "Hoss, you better get some corks cause you're gonna have to plug 
up a few holes" 
I guess he thought I was talking' just to pass away time 
But he kinda looks different now on his knees beggin' for his life 
 
Chorus
