Chord Respectable by Don Mclean

don mclean respectable transcribed by alex ceserani Em G C D ah , it aint so easy is it? you almost lost your place . G Am C D and perhaps youre wondering how youre going to cope with your disgrace . G Am C D well your wealth is well established and your friends were never few , hold D G and all the things they told you of youre finding to be true . Am C D well if truth can free the guilty while the innocent must die , G Am C D G then i respect , respect , respect the coldest lie . Em G C D and you talk of human justice while you drive on fancy wheels . G Am C D and you push them to their limit just to see how nice it feels . G Am C D well it doesnt really matter if shes living or shes dead , hold D G you just drive away forgetting that your bumpers dipped in red . Am C D well if thats the kind of justice that our hall of justice claims , G Am C D G then i respect , respect , respect old jesse james . Em G C D and most cordially they caught you and they asked you to obey . G Am C D and they threw you into prison , just in case you could not pay . G Am C D well king arthur jousted lancelot , who stole away his wife; hold D G and your lawyers jousted with the court to save your precious life . Am C D well if living is what matters though you lie with every breath , G Am C D G then i respect , respect , the ones we put to death . Em G C D and you won your case most easily and soon you will be free . G Am C D but there will be a million more who lose their liberty . G Am C D not because of what they did , but what they did not do : hold D G they did not pay a lawyer or a judge to see them through . Am C D why , they had no friends to call on and they could not raise their bail . G Am C D G well if winning is what matters , i respect the ones who fail .
