Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Gsus4][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
She [G]dialed [D]911[G] but
the cops didn't come [D]on time
They found her on the marble
with a bullet through [G]her eye
He was weaving back and forth,
foaming at [D]the lips
So they took him in for questioning
and inked his finger tips
[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]There's [C]two [G]kinds of justice
everybody [Csus2]knows
[C]One for folks [G]up on [D]the [G]hill,
[D]the other's dow[G]n bel[Gsus4]ow[G]
Everyone is talking 'bout the [D]night [G]he
spent in [Csus2]jail[Gsus4][G]
[Csus2]Today he's fre[G]e out walking on a
[D]mil[G]lion dollars bail

[Interlude 1]
[Csus2][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]They said she was a single girl
that lived a double [D]life
He'd met her at the hatcheck stand
and took her home [G]that night
No one knows what [D]happened [G]'coz
no one else [D]was there
No trial date was ever set,
no one [G]seems [D]to care
[G]

[Verse 4]
'Coz there's two kinds of
justice every[D]body [C]knows
One for [G]folks up on the hill,
the [D]other's [G]down be[C]low
[Csus2]Everyone [Gsus4]is talking 'bo[G]ut
the night he spent in [Csus2]jail[G]
Today he's free out walking on
a [D]mil[G]lion dollars [Csus2]bail
On [G]a m[D]il [G]lion dol[Csus2] lars bai[C]l[G]

[Verse 5]
[G]
They tell us all the world is small and [D]life
is selling [Csus2]cheap[C][G]
Anything can happen when you're
[D]walking in your sleep
[C]The court took charge [G]and eyed the facts,
bail was set [D]at one [G]cool [D]mil[Csus2][C][Csus2][G]
[Csus2]Calls were made and [G]debts were paid,
the [D]lawyers worked with skill
[Csus2][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]
[G]Eternity is longer than one
night inside [D]a box
And if you're heading for the jail house,
now's the time to pick the [G]locks
But there's a sentence passed on every soul,
someday we all [D]must die
When the question's not who pulls the switch,
it's how you lived and [G]why

[Verse 7]
[C]There's two [G]kinds of justice
[D]everybody [C]knows
One for folks [G]up on the hill,
the [D]other's down [G]below
Everyone is talking 'bout the night
he spent in [Gsus4]jail
[C]Today [Gsus4]he's free[C] out walk[G]ing on a
million dollars [Csus2]bail[C][Csus2]
[C]On a mil[D]lio[G]n dol[Csus2] lars bai[C]l
[G]
