Ed Bruce - Ninety Seven More To Go Chords

[Intro]
Em7 A7 Em7 A7
 
 
[Verse 1]
  Em7        A7         Em7       A7
Ninety-nine years is a long long time
   Em7        A7       Em7       B7
to bust your back on a hard rock mine
    Em7       A7       Em7       A7
You sweat so much you can't cry tears
          Em7
when you stop to think about ninety-nine years
 
 
[Chorus]
        A7        Em7        A7  Em7
Ninety-nine years on a hard rock mine
       A7        Em7       B7
I work two years off of my time
Em7     A7
Ninety-nine years go so slow
          E7                      A7
when you still got ninety-seven more to go
 
Em7 A7 Em7 A7
 
 
[Verse 2]
 Em7    A7          Em7      A7
No-Cal woman got me in this mess
  Em7            A7          Em7       B7
wantin' pretty things and a satin red dress
Em7              A7             Em7     A7
What I couldn't make she said I have to take
         Em7
and the judge said ninety-nine for justice sake

[Verse 3]
   Em7        A7         Em7            A7
I take a rest when the guard turns his head
 Em7             A7             Em7      B7
Hopin' he'll get mad and maybe shoot me dead
 Em7       A7                   Em7      A7
Cause the days drag by and the years go slow
                     E7          A7
But thank God I only got ninety-seven more to go
 
 
[Chorus]
        A7        Em7        A7  Em7
Ninety-nine years on a hard rock mine
       A7        Em7       B7
I work two years off of my time
Em7     A7
Ninety-nine years go so slow
          E7                      A7
when you still got ninety-seven more to go
