Send Me To The Lectric Chair

Written by George Brooks

	  		

        C          C7    F       Ab 
He said Judge your honor Hear my plea 

C          G            C      G7 
Before you open up your court 

C       C7       F        Ab 
I don't crave no sympathy 

D          D              G      G 
for what I have to report 

G            G      C        C 
I caught her with a gambling Joe 

G            G              C       C 
I had warned her about once before 

D           D            D      D 
I pulled my knife, and I went insane 

D            D       G7      G+ 
the rest you already know 

        C     C7    F         Ab 
he said Judge Judge good kind judge 

C              G       C      G7 
send me to the lectric chair 

        C     C7    F       Ab 
he said Judge Judge hear me Judge 

D          D         G     G 
I want to get out of here 

  C                             C 
I want to take a journey to the devil down below 

  F 
I sliced up my sweet petootie 

        Ab 
I gotta reap just what I sow 

   C     C     F       Ab 
So Judge Judge here me Judge 

    C              G       C     G7 
and send me to the lectric chair 


C          C7          F       Ab 

C          G           C       G7 

C          C7          F       Ab 

D          D           G       G 

C                      C 

F                      Ab 

C          C7          F       Ab 

C          G           C       G7 



He said Judge oh listen to me Judge 
Please now send me to the lectric chair 
He said Judge, your honor, mister, sir 
I love that girl so dear 
I don't want no bondsman to go my bail 
and I don't want to spend no 99 years stuck in your stinkin jail 
Judge judge here me judge 
send me to the lectric chair 


C          C7          F       Ab 

C          G           C       G7 

C          C7          F       Ab 

D          D           G       G 

C                      C 

F                      Ab 

C          C7          F       Ab 

C          G           C       G7 


He said Judge, aw Judge, Mr Sirica please 
send me to the lectric chair 
Aw Judge, Now Judge, Meister Judge 
Burn me cause I don't care 
First I cut her with my barlow 
and then I kinda kicked her in the side 
and then I stood there laughing on her 
while she buckled up an died 

So judge, judge here me Judge 
and send me to the lectric chair
