The Crime I Didn't Do
Lonesome River Band
[Am]I was raised in a [G]small mill town, a factory worker's [Am]son
[Am]Left my home and [G]family at the age of [D]21
[Am]I set out to f[G]ind my way in a strange and distant [Am]town
[Am]Hadn't been there a y[G]ear or more when t[D]rouble came around
[Am]I operate an o[G]ld punch press, work all by my[Am]self
[Am]I make no friends or enemies, just [G]parts from 4 to [D]12;
just p[Am]arts from [G]4 to [Am]12
[Am]One night as I was walking home, I [G]heard an awful [Am]sound
[Am]Footsteps running out of sight by the [G]time I turned arou[D]nd
[Am]Shaken by the dreadful scene, it c[G]ame into my [Am]sight
[Am]A young man lying cold and still, bene[G]ath the dim street li[D]ght
[Am]Dear Mother, say a prayer for me, and p[G]lease try not to [Am]cry
[Am]I swear to you I killed no one, but I [G]had no ali[D]bi;
Lord, I [Am]had no [G]ali[Am]bi
[Am]Now I'm a hunted fugitive, r[G]unning for my l[Am]ife
[Am]A wanted man ain't got a chance when he [G]has no place to [D]hide
[Am]I know someday they'll find me, and I [G]know that when they [Am]do
[Am]I'll have to pay the penalty for a c[G]rime I didn't [D]do;
For a [Am]crime I di[G]dn't [Am]do
