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

B7 E
That's just the way we do things in West Memphis
