Вступление
[Intro]
D
[Verse]
D
They accused me of forgery, I couldn't write my name
D
They accused me of looking and I didn't see a thing
G
Didn't mean to cause no trouble and I meant no bodily harm
D
All I had was this body and the muscle in my arm
C
They gave me the third degree
G D
They hung me from a tree, third degree
[Chorus]
G
And they're giving me the third degree
G
But it's plain to see without a learned degree
D
I didn't know a chopping hoe could bring a mountain down
G
They're giving me the third degree
G D
They hung me from a tree, that third degree
[Verse]
D
She came down the turn row with a bucket in her hand
D
She brought Alberta peaches and they all knew I's her man
G
She didn't have no business hanging out down where they were
D
And everybody wants something and they all wanted her
[Chorus]
G
They're giving me the third degree
G
But it's plain to see without a learned degree
D
I didn't know a chopping hoe could bring a mountain down
G
And they're giving me the third degree
G D
They hung me from a tree, that third degree
D
That third degree
[Verse]
D
Sitting with my peaches when I heard her crying out
D
Peaches in my pocket and blood here on this ground
D
They took her away from me, they took her away from me
D
They took her away from me in a third degree
D
In a third degree
D
It's a third degree
