I found some chords for this song on various websites, and none of them sounded
quite right to me. So, I decided to tweak them up a bit. These chords may not be
100% accurate, but they sound a lot better than the other chords floating around.
These chords are, in specific, for the live version on the CD/DVD "A Concert
Behind Prison Walls", but I'd imagine these, if slowed down, could apply to the
version on the album "Murder".

Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
([ch]G[/ch])
Jacob Green got busted for possession
ch]D[/ch
next morning early he appeared in court
ch]C[/ch
But he was sent to jail to wait
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
to be trialed at some later date
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Next morning early, there came a sad report
ch]G[/ch
At the jail they took away his clothes to shame him
ch]D[/ch
and to make sure Jacob Green had no pride left
ch]C[/ch
They cut of all his hair
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Today they found him hanging there
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
afraid to face the day he killed himself
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It happened yesterday, and if you turn your head away
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Somewhere in some dirty hole that scene will be rerun
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Not only Jacob Green, but many more you've never seen
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It could be someone that you love gets done
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
like Jacob Green got done
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It could be someone that you love gets done
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
like Jacob Green got done
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
Jacobs father hired a team of lawyers
inspections and long inquiries were held
The sheriff then retired
and the papers said two guards were fired
They put a brand new coat of paint on Jacob's cell
But like a tomb that looks so white and shiny
inside you'll find corruption never seen
And somewhere out there tonight
In a dirty cell without a light
There will be locked up another Jacob Green
(End on )
