Bridge:
A                          B                   E
The attorney's say that he doesn't even have a prayer.

They say they're doing their best, but can't find any proof anywhere.
A               C#m
They say he's a goner.

They say he's bound to the electric chair.

Verse 3:
E
Well Billy's been calling on you, Mikey.
          A
He's been calling your name.
E                                                               B                        A
He wants to see ya before this whole thing begins. He hopes you still see him the same.
E                                                        A
He hopes you still see him as your big brother, not some murderous man.
E                  B
I really think you two should talk.
        A                    B                         E
Because deep down, you know, Billy's a good and honest man.

Well I guess I'll see ya, Mike.

You wanna look good in front of that judge.

When you were younger we didn't cut ya much slack.
