        D                          A                    G

     D                                 A                  G
He plead insanity like they do now all the time
     D                                         A   G
Sir what would you have done in 1859
              D                           A                             G

Now they sue the manufactures of the guns
           D                  A                 E
aint the law changed alot since 1861

Repeat chorus
       D                     A                G
I just heard the new story on the radio
           D                               A                       G
                 D                                   A                  G
cause theyre overcrowded and it was only his fifth offense
      D                              A

           D                         A                        G
Now my lawyer called me about a nuisance case
          D                              A                           G
Cause everybody sues over any little thing these days
       D                                    A                        G
                   D                   A                      G
