Sting - Love is stronger than justice

^AmThis is a story of seven brothers ^AmWe had the same father but different mothers ^AmWe keep together like a family should ^AmRoaming the country for the common good ^AmIt came to pass one faithful day ^AmWe found ourselves down Mexico way ^AmThe town, the mayor, the P.T.A ^AmPleading on their knees with us all to stay ^AmWe'd only stopped for a few burritos ^AmBut they told us of the trouble with los banditos ^AmA poor little town in need of aid ^AmMy brothers and me had never been afraid ^AmThe age of chivalry is not dead ^AmLomesome nights in a coyboy bed ^AmThere'd be a bride for every man ^AmWho chased away the evil gang

^CLove is ^Fstronger than justice ^GLove is thicker than ^Cblood ^CLove love love is ^Fstronger than justice ^GLove is a ^G7big fat river in ^Cflood

^AmThe outcome was predictable ^AmOur banditos were despicable ^AmOf blood we lost a dozen litres ^AmA small price to pay for las senoritas ^AmThe town mayor was happy but his face was glum ^AmThe maidens numbered only one ^AmBut there weren't seven brides for seven brothers ^AmI knew I had to get rid of the others

^AmMother told me I was the clever one ^AmThe seventh son of a seventh son ^AmIt all ended so happily ^AmI settled down with the family ^AmI look forward to a better day ^AmBut ethical stuff never got in my way ^AmAnd though there used to be brothers seven ^AmThere other six are singing in heaven
