E    D    E   A     E    D  A
Cold dark lonesome, dead of night
E      D    E  A      E     D   A
Things gone so wrong, can't get right

In the darkness, hear the sound

Of a world that's upside down

Mercy ain't got no judgment

Justice got a rag tied around her eyes
E
Oughta be tears rollin’ down her face
       D                        E
At the blind try’na to lead the blind
G    A             E
Rich man rolls the dice

Poor boy pays the price
