Gowan - Criminal Mind Chords & Tabs

A Criminal Mind 
Gowan - 1985


Intro:   Em   D     C     


Em
You see my hands are steady, you've seen my face before
D	                                      C
Soon you can take your last look, and they'll close the door
Em
I stand accused before you, I have no tears to cry
D                                    C
And you will never break me ‘til the day I die

Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/gowan/criminal_mind_crd_ver_2.html ]
Em        Bm             Em             Bm
A criminal mind is all I, all I've ever known
C               Am               D
They tried to reform me, but I'm made of cold stone
Em         Bm            Em              Bm
My criminal mind is all I, all I've ever had
C             Am              D             Em
Ask one who's known me if I'm really so bad, I am


I've spent my life behind these steel bars, I've paid my debt in time
But being brought to justice, that was my only crime
I don't regret a single action, I'd do the same again
These prison walls secure me, and I'm numb to pain

(repeat chorus)

Before you hand me over, before you read my sentence
I'd like to say a few words, here in my own defense
Some people struggle daily, they struggle with their conscience to the end
I have no guilt to haunt me, I feel the wrong intent


(repeat chorus and fade)
