[Verse]
                   D      
The court room was crowded, 
                 A
the judge waited there
                         
My mother was crying when 
          D
I left my chair
                       
The sentence were sharp 
   D7             G
for it cut like a knife
                         
For ninety nine years boys
A              D
 is almost for life
 
 
[Verse]

               D      
I dreamed of a whistle 
                  A
I heard the bells ring
                        
My sweetheart was coming 
                  D
some good news to bring
                     D7  
I knew that she loved me 
                  G
And that she’d be true
               D      A    
She said she'd save me for 
                 D
i'm as guilty as you

[Verse]

                          
They said I was a criminal 
             A
And to my despair
                              
They sent me to Nashville boys 
                   D
They shaved off my hair
                     
So come hear my story
D7                G
 I’ll tell you my fate
                    D        
I’m serving here in Nashville
A                  D
 for another man’s hate
 
 
[Verse]

                          
Well i just got this letter 
                   A
From old Nashville town
                   
And after I read it 
                D
My spirit broke down
                              D7
For it’s sad that my sweetheart 
                       G
And the judge would be wed
                 D        
And here in your jailhouse
A             D
 I wish I was dead

[Verse 5]

                                 
Well no matter how rightful folks 
             A
A man he may be
                         
Bad company will send him 
               D
To prison like me
                    
So take a good woman
D7                 G
 and make her your wife
                     
For ninety nine years 
    A              D
boys is almost for life
 
 
[Outro]

    A              D
boys is almost for life
