Alabama - Love in the first degree

I ^Abonce thought of love as ^Eba prison, A pl^Dbace I didn't want to^Ab be, ^BbmSo long ago, I ^Abmade a decision To be f^Bbmootloose and fancy^Eb-free. But ^Abyou came and I was so^Eb tempted, To ^Dbgamble on love just one^Ab time, I n^Bbmever thought,^Ab I would get caught, It s^Bbmeemed like the perfec^Ebt crime.

^DbBaby you left me d^Abefenseless, ^DbI've only got one^Ab plea, ^BbmLock me away, in^Abside of your love, And t^Bbmhrow away the k^Ebey. I'm ^Dbguilty, Of l^Ebove in the first d^Abegree.

^AbI thought it would be s^Ebo simple, Like a^Db thousand times before, I'd^Bbm take what I wanted, a^Abnd just walk away, But I ^Bbmnever made it to t^Ebhe door. Now b^Ababe I'm not begging for ^Ebmercy, Go ah^Dbead and throw the book at ^Abme, If ^Bbmloving you's a crim^Abe, I know that I'm As ^Bbmguilty as a man can^Eb be.

^DbBaby you left me d^Abefenseless, ^DbI've only got one^Ab plea, ^BbmLock me away, in^Abside of your love, And t^Bbmhrow away the k^Ebey. I'm ^Dbguilty, Of l^Ebove in the first d^Abegree.
