The Law Is for Protection of the People
From the album Kristofferson
[INTRO]
C
[VERSE 1]
C Bb C
Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk
Bb C
Someone said he stumbled and he fell
Bb C
Six squad cars came screaming to the rescue
Bb C
Hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail
[CHORUS]
F C F
'Cause the law is for protection of the people
C F
Rules are rules and any fool can see
Eb F
We don't need no drunks like Billy Dalton
Dm G G7
Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree
[VERSE 2]
C Bb C
Homer Lee Hunnicut was nothing but a hippie
Bb C
Walking through this world without a care
Bb C
Then one day, six strapping brave policemen
Bb C
Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair
[CHORUS]
F C F
'Cause the law is for protection of the people
C F
Rules are rules and any fool can see
Eb F
We don't need no hairy headed hippies
Dm G G7
Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree
[VERSE 3]
C Bb C
So thank your lucky stars you've got protection
Bb C
Walk the line, and never mind the cost
Bb C
And don't wonder who them lawmen was protecting
Bb C
When they nailed the savior to the cross
[CHORUS]
F C F
'Cause the law is for protection of the people
C F
Rules are rules and any fool can see
Eb F
We don't need no riddle speaking prophets
Dm G G7
Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree
