Southern Justice

(início)

D
He was born in the big iron city
F            G            D
Deep in the heart of Dixie yes he was now
              F
Raised on the Good Book
           G            D      C
Taught to take a good look at what's goin' on
         G       D
His daddy was a Birmingham lawman
 C          G            A
A servant of the people through and through
     D                  C
They say blood is thicker than water
          G            D
So the boy got a badge and a suit of blue.
Chorus:
    G          D
He was long on Southern Justice
        G          A
Practiced his law out on the street
     G         D            G   F
Drew the line for the criminal mind to see
       G            D
Dedicated to keep God's children free.
      D                  F
There are two sides to every big city
            G          D
And he walked on the one that wasn't pretty
            F
A solitary ranger
               G        D      C
He had to deal with the danger round every turn
         G          D    C
Every day was a tightrope of decision
        G              A
Between a forty-four and a heart of gold
       D                C
Some of those hard case confrontations
            G              D
Would cut him like a switch-blade to his soul.
Chorus:
G D G A
     D                    F
Late one night down on Crack Street Alley
          G         D
He walked up on a bad deal goin' down
            F
He knew what he'd done
           G  D        C
When he saw that shotgun swing around
       G         D     C
He drew then froze in hesitation
         G            A
When he saw that fourteen year old face
     D                    C
Then the fire from that shotgun barrel
         G     D
Blew all his burdens away
G       C     D
Oh blew his burdens away.
Chorus: X2
C       G            D   F
Dedicated to keep God's children free
 G           D    F G
Oh Lord to keep them free
         D
Got to keep em free.
F G D
