On the one they'll catch you

If you skirt disaster
G#
On the day they told her
D#
But she want to stay, stay

Witnesses of Goya

D#
Just a product of your mind
G#
But when you continue to let loose on a running man
D#
You send him crashing to the edge of the pavement
Fm
You're doing something you don't quite understand
A# C
Making like he's a lesser man
G#
So be gone be gone to plea
D#
You got your vehicle to ride on
Fm
Off to the commissioner as fast as you can
A# C
With your smoking gun in hand
In your

A#m
Six men on their knees eyes shinin' in the high beams of the searchlight
A#m Fm C#
Cop's shadows on the wall several stories tall instilling whoa such a fright
A#m
One's kicked in the gut; he's all cut up by the corner cop
A#m Fm C#
One stands in defense in a broken sentence
Asks not to be shot
G#
If you please
D#
You men of authority
Fm
We do not speak your language see

Don't mess mess with the down downpresser way
C#
They got it down pat; they got it down to a tee
G#
No one gets through the lockstep jaw
D#
You ain't guilty but you did get caught
Fm
So for lack for a better suspect we nominate you
C#
To ride this one out, to see this one through
D#
See A, see A
See A, see A
Fm
Arms thrown up in a ever fearful protest
C#
As if the firing squad would ever think to notice
G#
As if he could summon the likes of Moses
D#
To put blood back in his friend's veins
Fm (Power Chords)
And if you're one step faster
C#
You can skirt disaster
G#
But if it's not you, it'll be the next guy
D#
Who's the wrong color at the wrong time
Fm (Full Barre Chords)
Another day's over and the decision still stands
C#
His honor in his chambers still washing his hands
G#
You know he's been fiddling in his room all day
D#
Just trying to wash all his conscience away
Fm
No one's asking for hangman's tree
C#
They just looking for something true to believe
G#
See A, see A
D#
See them know but they will not say
Fm
He wasn't begging he was just keeping time with his cup
C#
He wasn't begging he was just keeping time with his cup
G#
He wasn't begging he was just keeping time with his cup
D#
You go on and believe that, You keep your eyes straight up
Fm
'Cause I was just looking I had no intention to touch
C#
I was just looking, I had no intention to touch
G#
I was just looking, I had no intention to touch
D# Fm
And I know when I'm not welcome so I thank you very much
