I d reamed that love was a crime

I was alone, so lonely and blue
C E7 Am F
You know why? Because ei ght men and f our women, L ord
Am Dm Am E7
They f ound me g uilty of l oving you (loving you)

As they were taking me away

You were taking, I saw you when you were taking the witness stand

You know what? I heard the lawyer when he asked you, my love

"Do you really love that man?"

E7
How could they be so blind (guilty)
Am Dm

Verse 3:

But a tear rolled down my cheek

I felt so sorry for you

You know why? Because in my heart I knew, oh yes, baby I knew

J udge, your honor and to the jury

I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are innocent

And true love is not a crime

A mean ju dge and a mean ju ry, oh, that's the jury of love

(Lord, that's the jury of love)
F7 E7 Am
(L ord, that's the j ury of l ove) (fade)
