Intro Bm Am Bm D Am G C G Bm
Verse 1
My GMamma always taught me better
than to Dplay with a loaded gun
If I'd just listened to her
D7She'd never had a Gprisoner for a son
The pictures still in G7front of my eyes
And the Cecho in my Gears
The Djury said he's guilty
And the jD7udge said 99 Gyears
riff G D D7 G C G
Verse 2
GWell I kissed my Darlin' on her tender G7lips
and she Dtook me by the hand
I had a nice little ride on a D7ferry boat
To the Grocks where the prison stands
The G7Warden said as he locked the door
Well I Chope you like it Ghere
Just Dmake yourself at home
you're gonna be D7with us 99 Gyears
Verse 3
Well I've almost forgotten
what my real name is
I've been a Dnumber for so long
Making D7little-bitty rocks outta great big rocks
Gets Gold as the days wear on
But I'll do my best for G799 years
Just Ctry to stay Galive
But the DWarden said if I do good
I'll D7get out in G95
Verse 4
Oh for 99 years I'll watch the sun
rise Dover that same ole scene
D799 years with nothin' but an empty Gcell for company
Yes there's not very much that G7stands between me
And the Cfreedom I hold Gdear
Just a Dthousand bars and a D7big thick wall
And a Dsentence of 99 Cyears G
