G D G
The jail burned down around him and he walked away
C G
he left the judge and jury with nothing to say
C D G Em
yes siree Bob, it was a clear cut act of God
C D G
and the jail burned down him and he walked away
G C
Now the DA, was sure he pled his case
G D
till he was staring straight into the face of fate
G C
there ain't much you can do, when the force is not with you
G D G
and your staring straight into the face of fate
chorus
C G C D
Anything can happen, on any particular day
C G Em
One day we'll all sing hallelujah
C D G
when the jail burns down around us and we walk away
G C
A blind man with a tin cup saw it all
G D
he felt the heat and moved away from the wall
G C
threw his hands up high and he sang "I saw the light"
G D G
and the jail burned down around him and he watched it fall
Repeat Chorus
