Southern Justice Ukulele tab

	         D 
He was born in the big iron city 
F                    G                D 
Deep in the heart of Dixie yes he was now 
                        F 
Raised on the Good Book 
                 G                   D        C 
Taught to take a good look at what?s goin? on 
                G          D 
His daddy was a Birmingham lawman 
  C              G                  A 
A servant of the people through and through 
         D                           C 
They say blood is thicker than water 
                 G                   D 
So the boy got a badge and a suit of blue. 
 
Chorus: 
       G                D 
He was long on Southern Justice 
              G              A 
Practiced his law out on the street 
         G            D                G   F 
Drew the line for the criminal mind to see 
             G                   D 
Dedicated to keep God?s children free. 
 
          D                           F 
There are two sides to every big city 
                     G               D 
And he walked on the one that wasn?t pretty 
                 F 
A solitary ranger 
                        G            D         C 
He had to deal with the danger round every turn 
                G              D      C 
Every day was a tightrope of decision 
                G                   A 
Between a forty-four and a heart of gold 
             D                         C 
Some of those hard case confrontations 
                     G                   D 
Would cut him like a switch-blade to his soul. 
 
Chorus: 
 
G D G A  
         D                                F 
Late one night down on Crack Street Alley 
                  G              D 
He walked up on a bad deal goin? down 
                       F 
He knew what he?d done 
                     G   D            C 
When he saw that shotgun swing around 
 
             G            D      C 
He drew then froze in hesitation 
                 G                 A 
When he saw that fourteen year old face 
         D                             C 
Then the fire from that shotgun barrel 
             G       D 
Blew all his burdens away 
G           C       D 
Oh blew his burdens away. 
 
Chorus: X2 
 
C            G                   D    F 
Dedicated to keep God?s children free 
   G                 D    F  G 
Oh Lord to keep them free 
               D 
Got to keep em free. 
 
F G D
