1) J	acob Green got busted for possession

	D
next morning early he appeared in	court

	G
But he	was sent to jail to wait

	Am	D
to be trialed	at some later d	ate

	G	D
Next m	orning early, there came a sad re	port

	G
At the	jail they took away his clothes to shame him

	D
and to make sure Jacob Green had no pride l	eft

	G	Am
They	cut of all his h	air

	G	D
Today they	found him hanging	there

	G	D	G
	afraid to face th	e day he killed h	imself

CHORUS:

	C	D	C	G
It h	appened yester	day, and if you t	urn your head a	way

	G	G	D	G
So	mewhere in some d	irty hole the sc	ene will be rer	un

	C	D	C	G
Not o	nly Jacob Gr	een, but many m	ore you've never s	een

	G	D	G
It could be s	omeone that you lo	ve gets	done

	D	G
like J	acob Green got	done

	G	D	G
It could be s	omeone that you l	ove gets	done

	D	G
like J	acob Green got	done

2)Jacobs father hired a team of lawyers

inspections and long inquiries were held

The sheriff then retired

and the papers said two guards were fired

They put a brand new coat of paint on Jacob's cell

But like a tomb that looks so white and shiny

inside you'll find corruption never seen

And somewhere out there tonight

In a dirty cell without a light

There will be locked up another Jacob Green

CHORUS:

	C	D	C	G
It h	appened yester	day, and if you t	urn your head a	way

	G	G	D	G
So	mewhere in some d	irty hole the sc	ene will be rer	un

	C	D	C	G
Not o	nly Jacob Gr	een, but many m	ore you've never s	een

	G	D	G
It could be s	omeone that you lo	ve gets	done

	D	G
like J	acob Green got	done

	G	D	G
It could be s	omeone that you l	ove gets	done

	D	G
like J	acob Green got	done
