THE BOSTON BURGLER
INTRO: C D7 G Em C D7 G
G C G D7 G Em G
I was born and raised in Boston, A place you all know well
C D7 G Em G C D7
Brought up by honest parents, The truth to you I'll tell
G C G D7 G Em G
Brought up by honest Parents, And raised most tenderly
C D7 G Em C D7 G
Till I became a sporting lad, At the age of twenty-three
G C G D7 G Em G
My character was taken, And I was sent to jail
C D7 G Em G C D7
My friends they came and tried in vain, To get me out on bail
G C G D7 G Em G
The jury found me guilty, The clerk he wrote it down
C D7 G Em C D7 G
The judge he passed the sentence, I was bound for Charlestown
G C G D7 G Em G
The placed me on an eastbound train, One cold December day
C D7 G Em G C D7
And every station we passed through, You could hear the people say
G C G D7 G Em G
There goes the Boston burgler, In cold chains he is bound
C D7 G Em C D7 G
For one crime or another, He is bound for Charlestown
C D7 G Em C D7 G
G C G D7 G Em G
All you that have your freedom, Take a warning if you can
C D7 G Em G C D7
And don't go round the streets at night, Breaking laws of God and man
G C G D7 G Em G
For if you do, You'll surely rue, And find yourself Like me
C D7 G Em C D7 G
Serving up, For twenty years, In the pen-i-tent-iary
simple, elegant and a cracking sing-a-long-song
If you like it, RATE IT !
