Three little boys found in the river on a sweltering summer night
B7
Not one soul ever figured out who created that terrible sight
E7 A E7
Somebody gotten away with murder that’s a horrible offense
B7 E7
But that’s the way they do things in West Memphis
E7 A E7
They didn’t like the music I listened to, they didn’t like the way I dressed
B7
Set me up with a forced confession, I never had a chance
E7 A E7
They threw the book at me at my expense, they ain’t got no common sense
B7 E7
But that’s the way they do things in West Memphis
E7 B7 E7

There’s never been any difference
A
So don’t come around here tryin’ to mess with us
E7 B7 E7

E7 A E7
I was framed and sentenced to life in prison for a crime I didn’t commit
B7
There wasn’t nobody to listen or rose to my defense
E7 A E7
Somebody planted the evidence and he’s been lying ever since

After all these years, they still refuse to say what really happened
B7
The crooked methods that they used to frame an innocent man
E7 A E7
Hiding their darkest secrets behind every picket fence
B7 E7
But that’s the way they do things in West Memphis
E7 B7 E7
Yeah that’s the way we do things in West Memphis
B7
That’s the way we do things in West Memphis
E7
There’s never been any difference

So don’t come around here tryin’ to mess with us
