Sounds Like Justice
by Hank Williams, Jr.
127 Rose Avenue
Key: E Major
[Verse 1]
E
He lived right across the street
A
It was on the news for the world to see
B7
They caught him with his hands on a neighbor's child
E
Now he swore he'd never done it before and he
E
cried before the judge in court so they
E
sent him away for just a little while
E
Mornin' found him in his cell
A
Somebody sent him straight to hell
B7
Beggin' for mercy down on his knees
E
Sounds like justice to me
[Chorus]
E
Go on, do your dirty work
A
In your tailored suit and your clean white shirt
B7
You don't care who you hurt
E
Dealer sellin, dealin' lies
E
and hide inside a little glass pipe
A
So you don't care who dies
B7
This can't go on, I gotta believe
E
Hey that's Gabriel's horn blowin' on the breeze
E
Sounds like justice to me
[Verse 2]
E
Mom and Pop had a corner store, It had
A
been there thirty years or more
E
And they'd been robbed about a hundred times
E
Punk walked in like he owned the place
A
Said give up the money as he slapped his face
E
He didn't know Pops had a .45
B7
They found him face down on the floor
B7
Dude never made it to the door
B7
Pop said I learned in the Army how to point and squeeze
And it sounds like justice to me
[Chorus 2]
E
Go on, do your dirty work
A
In your tailored suit and your clean white shirt
E
You don't care who you hurt
E
Dealer sellin, dealin' lies
A
and hide inside a little glass pipe
E
So you don't care who dies
B7
It's gonna catch up to ya buddy, I gotta believe
B7
Hey that's Gabriel's horn blowin' on the breeze
E
Sounds like justice to me
[Instrumental]
B7
Listen up
That's Gabriel's horn blowin' on the breeze
E
Sounds like justice to me
Sounds like justice to me
[Spoken]
(Vamp on E)
Keep messin' around
You're gonna meet the wrong dude in town
You reap what you sew
