[Verse 1]
GSent him away in '38, California state, the case G/Fwas trEmied
GHenri Young was an orphan son, came undone when his sG/Fister crEmied
His time he'd seCrve, he'd stole for hGer
Free men untCil, five dollar Gbill D
GBut the grocery store had a postal door, federal law had to G/FinterveEmne
GAnd underneath all the disbelief was a petty thief who was jG/Fust 17 Em
He'd come at laCst, to AlcaGtraz
He'd come so fCar, with a weary heGart D
[Chorus]
And as suCre as my name is HeDnri Young, I nGever G/Fmeant to Emhurt no one
I'd taCke back everytDhing I stole, if GGod would cG/Fome and Emsave my soul
AndC then they'll hear these cries G
An innocent mCan behind these eyes G D
[Verse 2]
Well, he sGtayed up late for the prison break, and he tried to escape, but theG/F plan was blEmown
And he Gbegged and prayed but the warden came, threw him away, down iG/Fn the hEmole
For 19 dayCs, he was meant to sGtay
But he disapCpeared for three long yGears D
Well they Gheaded down to the underground, where they let him out to return toG/F his roEmom
And when mGorning came he was never the same and he stabbed McCain with the haG/Fndle of the Emspoon
From days gone Cpast, to AlcatrGaz
From a man who sCteals, to a man who kilGls D
[Chorus]
And as suCre as my name is HeDnri Young, I nGever G/Fmeant to Emhurt no one
I'd taCke back everytDhing I stole, if GGod would cG/Fome and Emsave my soul
AndC then they'll hear these cries G
An innocent mCan behind these eyes G D
[Verse 3]
Well the yeGar was told on the radio DiMaggio and the war was aG/Ft its wEmorst
Henri YGoung was an orphan son who came undone with murder inG/F the fiEmrst
Death byC gas, in AlcatGraz
Good man when he cCame, now who's the one to bGlame D
[Chorus]
And as suCre as my name is HeDnri Young, I nGever G/Fmeant to Emhurt no one
I'd taCke back everytDhing I stole, if GGod would cG/Fome and Emsave my soul
AndC then they'll hear these cries G
An innocent mCan behind these eyes G D
