This is my first tab for a website, so be patient with it;

I saw a whole bunch of tabs on the internet with half the

song cut out, so I just had to laugh as the song goes.

I’m 99% sure these are the chords used, take accurate

timing by listening to the song while practising.

And there’s a difference between G# and G#m

(spoken)

I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine.

I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled,

I laid my heart on the line

Intro/Hook:

E, A, B x2

You read me my rights and then you said “Let’s go” and nothing more

I thought of my nights, and how they were

They were filled with —

I know you wouldn’t go

You’d watch my heart burst then you’d step in

I had to know so I asked

You just had to laugh

(intro/hook x 2)

We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my … side

I look at your life and your style

I wanted nothing more

I know you wouldn’t go

You’d watch my heart burst then you’d step in

I had to know so I asked

You just had to laugh

(intro/hook)

Walking the line, you were a marksman

Told me that law, like wine, is ageless

Public defender

You had to admit

You wanted the love of a sex offender

(guitar solo: E, G#m, A, B)

I know you wouldn’t go

You’d watch my heart burst then you’d step in

I had to know so I asked

You just had to laugh

My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell

And in the trial, you were there

With your badge and rubber boots

I think all the time how I’m going to perpetrate love with you

And when I get out, there’s no doubt I’ll be sex offensive to you
