The Law

Intro: Dm . . . |A7 . . . 
 
                        Dm     Am7     Dm 
How many times did you call me 
                   Am     Em7     Am 
And I knew it was late 
             Dm     Am7     Dm 
I left everybody 
                    Am     Em7     Am 
But I never went straight 
                     F     C7     F 
I don‘t claim to be guilty 
                Dm     Am7     Dm 
But I do understand 
           Bb             A               Dm 
There‘s a Law, there‘s an Arm, there‘s a Hand 
           Bb             A               Dm    A7 
There‘s a Law, there‘s an Arm, there‘s a Hand 
 
Now my heart‘s like a blister 
From doing what I do 
If the moon has a sister 
It‘s got to be you 
I‘m going to miss you forever 
Though it‘s not what I planned 
There‘s a Law, there‘s an Arm, there‘s a Hand 
There‘s a Law, there‘s an Arm, there‘s a Hand 
 
Now the deal has been dirty 
Since dirty began 
I‘m not asking for mercy 
Not from the man 
You just don‘t ask for mercy 
While you‘re still on the stand 
There‘s a Law, there‘s an Arm, there‘s a Hand 
There‘s a Law, there‘s an Arm, there‘s a Hand 
 
Dm . Am7 . |Dm . . . |Am . Em7 . |Am . . . | 
Dm . Am7 . |Dm . . . |Am . Em7 . |Am . . . | 
 
                     F     C7     F 
I don‘t claim to be guilty 
               Dm     Am7     Dm 
Guilty‘s too grand 
           Bb             A               Dm 
There‘s a Law, there‘s an Arm, there‘s a Hand 
           Bb             A               Dm    A7 
There‘s a Law, there‘s an Arm, there‘s a Hand 
 
That‘s all I can say, baby 
That‘s all I can say 
It wasn‘t for nothing 
That they put me away 
I fell with my angel 
Down the chain of command 
There‘s a Law, there‘s an Arm, there‘s a Hand 
There‘s a Law, there‘s an Arm, there‘s a Hand 
There‘s a Law, there‘s an Arm, there‘s a Hand
