Song doesn't need to be in 7th's all the time, you can switch it up to your liking.
Also, pinky action on the A7s and B7s optional...
E7
Three little boys were found in the river
A7 E7
On a sweltering summer night
Not one soul ever figured it out
B7
Who created that terrible sight
E7
Now somebody's gotten away with murder
A7 E7
And a horrible offense
B7 E7
But that's the way we do things in West Memphis
E7
They didn't like the music I listened to
A7 E7
They didn't like the way I dressed
They set me up with a forced confession
B7
I never had a chance
E7
They threw the book at me at my expense
A7 E7
They got no common sense
B7 E7
But that's the way they do things in West Memphis
[Refrain:]
E7 B7 E7
Yeah that's the way we do things in West Memphis
B7
That's the way we do things in West Memphis
E7
It's never been any different
A7
So don't come around here and try to mess with us
E7 B7 E7
'Cause that's the way we do things in West Memphis
E7
I was framed and sentenced To a life in prison
A7 E7
For a crime I didn't commit
B7
Wasn't nobody listened or rose to my defense
E7
Somebody planted the evidence
A7 E7
And he's been lying ever since
B7 E7
But that's the way we do things in West Memphis
E7
And after all these years they still refuse
A7 E7
To say what really happened
The crooked methods that they used
B7
To frame an innocent man
E7
Are hiding in the darkest secrets
A7 E7
Behind every picket fence
B7 E7
And that's the way we do things in West Memphis
[Refrain:]
E7 B7 E7
Yeah that's the way we do things in West Memphis
B7
That's the way we do things in West Memphis
E7
It's never been any different
A7
So don't come around here and try to mess with us
E7 B7 E7
'Cause that's the way we do things in West Memphis
E7 B7 E7
Yeah that's the way we do things in West Memphis
B7
That's the way we do things in West Memphis
E7
It's never been any different
A7
So don't come around here and try to mess with us
E7 B7 E7
'Cause that's the way we do things in West Memphis
E7 B7 E7
That's just the way we do things in West Memphis
B7 E7
That's just the way we do things in West Memphis
