[VERSE 1:] Main Riff with lyrics

There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge's gavel fell
Jury found him guilty

play Fill 1 instead of Main Riff for this measure (Verse 1 only):
Gave him sixteen years in hell

FILL 1:

I'm gonna make a Jailbreak
And I'm lookin' towards the sky

[VERSE 2] Main Riff with lyrics

He said he'd seen his lady bein' fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
Had a gun in his hand

Uh...bullets started flyin' everywhere
N'people started to scream
Big man lyin' on the ground
With a hole in his body where his life had been




but it was all in the name of liberty
