The Law Is for Protection of the People Kris Kristofferson
[C]
B[C]illy Dalton st[Bb]aggered on the s[C]idewalk
Someone said he st[Bb]umbled and he f[C]ell
Six squad cars came scr[Bb]eaming to the r[C]escue
Hauled old Billy D[Bb]alton off to j[C]ail
'Cause the l[F]aw is for prot[C]ection of the p[F]eople
Rules are rules and a[C]ny fool can s[F]ee
We don't need no dr[Eb]unks like Billy D[F]alton
Sc[Dm]arin' decent folks like you and [G]me, no s[G7]iree
Homer Lee H[C]unnicut was n[Bb]othing but a h[C]ippy
Walking thru this w[Bb]orld without a c[C]are
Then one day, six str[Bb]apping brave pol[C]icemen
Held down Homer L[Bb]ee and cut his h[C]air
'Cause the l[F]aw is for prot[C]ection of the p[F]eople
Rules are rules and a[C]ny fool can s[F]ee
We don't need no [Eb]hairy headed hi[F]ppies
Sc[Dm]arin' decent folks like you and [G]me, no s[G7]iree
So th[C]ank your lucky st[Bb]ars you've got prot[C]ection
Walk the line, and [Bb]never mind the c[C]ost
And don't wonder who them l[Bb]awmen was prot[C]ecting
When they nailed the s[Bb]avior to the cr[C]oss.
'Cause the l[F]aw is for prot[C]ection of the p[F]eople
Rules are rules and a[C]ny fool can s[F]ee
We don't need no r[Eb]iddle speaking pr[F]ophets
Sc[Dm]arin' decent folks like you and [G]me, no s[G7]iree
