Intro

G

Verse 1

 JGacob Green got busted for possession

 next morning early he appeared in cDourt

 But he was sCent to jail to wait

 to be trialed Gat some later dCate

 Next Gmorning early, there came a sad repDort

 At the Gjail they took away his clothes to shame him

 and to make sure Jacob Green had no pride Dleft

 They Ccut of all his hair

 Today they Gfound him hanging Cthere

 afraGid to face the Dday he killed hiGmself

Chorus

 It hCappened yesterdDay, and if you tCurn your head awGay

 Somewhere in some dirty hole tChat scene will be reDrun

 Not Conly Jacob GDreen, but many Cmore you've never Gseen

 It could be someone that you Clove gets Gdone

 like JDacob Green got Gdone

 It could be someone that you Clove gets Gdone

 like JDacob Green got Gdone

Verse 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

 (End on G)
