99 Years Glen Campbell 1964 Star Route 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
