Legalized Murder Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]In [A]the[D] hall of legalized[A] murder[D]
A [G]young black [D]man is [G]waiting [D]for his death
He killed a [A]white po[D]liceman
Or [G]so they say,
[D]and the jud[G]ges wan[D]t his breath

[Verse 2]
[D]
In the hall of [A]legalized [D]murder
[G]Time goes [D]by and [G]no one does a [D]lot
But they tested out [A]the [D]gas chamber
On a [G]young black [D]rabbit,
at least [G]he [D]won't be [Bm]shot

[Verse 3]
They should [D]give him a medal
Isn't our world based
on [E]murder?
They should [D]give him a medal
Isn't our world based on [E]crime?

[Verse 4]
In the [D]hall of [A]legalized [Bm]murder[D]
[G]A young black m[D]an
is strapped [G]into [D]a chair
And the warden [A]says "We'll get
[D]through this together, Jim."
But the [G]warden [D]doesn't
[G]seem to [D]have a chair
[A][E]

[Verse 5]
In the [D]hall of [A]legalized [D]murder
There's a [G]lump of [D]flesh
that's [G]lying [D]a tray
It's been freshly [A]killed but it
[D]wasn't killed for eating
It's been [G]freshly [D]killed to be
[G]dumped and thrown away
[Bm]

[Verse 6]
[G]They should [D]give him a medal
Isn't our world based on [E]murder?
They should [D]give him a medal
Isn't our life based on
[E]crime

[Outro 1]
