[Bb]You're [Am]guilty of crime in the first [G]degree,

'Cause he was [Am]Lord of the Lightning,
Though "socially frightening",
[G]But[C] never out to sell.[C#5][C]

[Verse 3]
Their [Am]nickels and pence
Meant more than did sense,
And [C]not the sensible [Bb]thing.[F]

Nor did [Am]the man outta time,
man [G]outta [F]time.[E]

But they [Am]swindled and whined

And [C]said Edison knew [Bb]best.

I [Am]spent twelve years of hard time,
