[Intro]
Am      FM7/A  C  C/B  G6add11  x4

[Verse 1]
Am                    FM7/A  C  C/B  G6add11
  Twelve men broke loose in '73
Am                FM7/A    C   C/B   G6add11
  From Millhaven maximum security
Am                      FM7/A C       C/B   G6add11
  Twelve pictures lined up across the front page
Am                              FM7/A C      C/B   G6add11
  Seems the Mounties had a summertime war to wage

Am                       FM7/A       C          C/B   G6add11
  The chief told the people they had nothing to fear
Am                             FM7/A  C          C/B   G6add11
  But the last thing they wanna do is hang around here
Am                       FM7/A     C           C/B   G6add11
  They mostly came from towns with long French names
Am                FM7/A      C        C/B   G6add11
  But one of the dozen was a hometown shame

[Chorus]
C              C/B        G6add11 Am
  Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall
C          C/B      G6add11 Am
  Been one seat empty  18   years in all
C          C/B  G6add11 Am
  Freezing slow time   away from the world
C      D*         Am
  He’s 38 years old, never kissed a girl
C       D*         Am                    C  D*
  He’s 38 years old, never kissed a girl

Am  FM7/A  C  C/B  G6add11  x2

[Verse 2]
Am                         FM7/A          C         C/B   G6add11
  We were sittin' at the table, heard the telephone ring
Am                 FM7/A          C      C/B   G6add11
  Father said he'd tell 'em if he saw anything
Am                       FM7/A        C                 C/B   G6add11
  Heard the tap on the window, in the middle of the night
Am                 FM7/A        C             C/B   G6add11
  Held back the curtains for my older brother Mike

Asus4                           D
  See my sister got raped, so a man got killed
C                                 D*
  Local boy went to prison, man's buried on the hill
Asus4                                 D
  Folks went back to normal when they closed the case
C                                           D*
  They still stare at their shoes when they pass our place

[Solo]
Asus4      C/D   D*   x4
Am  FM7/A  C  C/B  G6add11  x2

[Verse 3]
Am                      FM7/A    C       C/B   G6add11
  My mother cried the horror has finally ceased
Am               FM7/A            C         C/B    G6add11
  He whispered yeah, for the time being, at least
Am                 FM7/A        C           C/B    G6add11
  And over his shoulder, on the squad car megaphone
Am                    FM7/A         C          C/B   G6add11
  Said let's go Michael, son, we're takin' you home

[Chorus]
C              C/B        G6add11 Am
  Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall
C          C/B      G6add11 Am
  Been one seat empty  18   years in all
C          C/B  G6add11 Am
  Freezing slow time   away from the world
C       D*         Am
  He’s 38 years old, never kissed a girl
C       D*         Am
  He’s 38 years old, never kissed a girl
C       D*         Asus4                  C/D  D*
  He’s 38 years old,    never kissed a girl

[Outro Solo]
Asus4      A7sus4   D*   x5
(Start fading)
Asus4      A7sus4   D*   x2
Am
