Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]On the 9th of
[G]December, [Am]1981
Nearly four in the morning,
[G]nightmare has[Am] begun
On 13th and
[G]Locust, a car was pulled [Am]over
Behind the wheel [G]was the
killer[Am]'s brother
After calling for backup,
[G]the cop pulled up
[Am]The man to get out of his [G]life
blew both [Am]ways again
William cooked a blight [G]and some
words were [Am]exchanged
And without [G]provocation,
William [Em]struck him in [Am]the face
The cop hit him back three folds
[G]while trying to re[Am]strain
We're running from across the [G]street,
William's brother [Am]came
I pulled out a gun, a shot rang [G]out, it all happened so [Am]fast,
so fast, that cop never saw it [G]comin'
Westley shot him in the [D]back,
oh, in the [Am]back
The officer then turned around
[G]He fired one shot in
Wes[Am]ley's chest
And before that cop hit the ground
[G]Both man's bodies [Am]bled
But
Wesley wasn't finished
He [G]was standing over at
Per[Am]th
Railroad
Four more rounds
He shot him [G]down, once directly in the [D]face
A bullet through the [Am]brain[Em][Am]
The killer tried to walk away,
[G]but he didn't get too [Am]far
He was slumped up against the curb
[G]in front of his brother[Am]'s car
Police arriving at the scene,
[G]four eyewitnesses obser[Esus4]ved[Am]
Yeah, that's the man, blood on [G]his hands
And the cop, he's [D]murdered[Am]
I 'll never be a [F]fool
You
