Oh D#m A#when A#the G#mcops came around
They put him under arrest
D#m But F#he couldn't care less
He didn't even A#blink
When they threw him
Against the wall
He didn't D#mthink A#he did
Anything wrong at all
So they G#mlocked him up
And they put him away
But he D#mknew F#that he was
Gonna escape one day
And A#so he did
And ever since then
They D#mtried A#
But they never saw
His face again
