Intro  Bm Am   Bm  D  Am  G  C  G  Bm 

verse 1 

   G 
My Mamma always taught me better  
        D 
than to play with a loaded gun 

If I'd just listened to her  
D7                G 
She'd never had a prisoner for a son 
                      G7 
The pictures still in front of my eyes 
        C          G 
And the echo in my ears 
    D 
The jury said he's guilty 
         D7           G       
And the judge said 99 years 

riff  G  D D7 G C G  

verse 2 

G                                      G7 
Well I kissed my Darlin' on her tender lips  
        D 
and she took me by the hand 
                              D7 
I had a nice little ride on a ferry boat 
       G 
To the rocks where the prison stands 
    G7 
The Warden said as he locked the door 
       C                G 
Well I hope you like it here 
     D 
Just make yourself at home  
                D7         G    
you're gonna be with us 99 years 

verse 3 


Well I've almost forgotten  

what my real name is 
            D 
I've been a number for so long 
       D7 
Making little-bitty rocks outta great big rocks 
     G 
Gets old as the days wear on 
                        G7 
But I'll do my best for 99 years 
     C           G 
Just try to stay alive 
        D 
But the Warden said if I do good 
     D7         G 
I'll get out in 95 

verse 4 


Oh for 99 years I'll watch the sun 
     D 
rise over that same ole scene 
D7                                 G 
99 years with nothin' but an empty cell for company 
                               G7        
Yes there's not very much that stands between me 
        C              G 
And the freedom I hold dear 
       D                   D7 
Just a thousand bars and a big thick wall 
      D              C     G 
And a sentence of 99 years
