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

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
