its a sin Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Innocent babies come
[F]into [C]this world
Singing their little hearts [G]out
Daddy [Am]says it's [G]a sin to [F]kill mockingbird[C]s
I have no [G]reason to [C]doubt[Am]

[Verse 2]
[C]Empathy can be a [F]good
holy [C]thing
To what pain some hard lives
are [G]bound[C][G]
[Am]But you'll have [G]to climb inside
[F]somebody's [C]skin
Get in there [G]and walk all [C]around

[Verse 3]
It's [F]an old town
It's a [C]tired old town
And a burning hot summer [G]to bear
Daddy [Am]says it's [G]a sin to [F]kill mockingbirds
[C]I hear one sin[G]ging up the[C]re
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
[C]You could be crippled [F]by cruelty
I've [C]heard
And I've known a few who have [G]lost
Their [Am]minds and their [G]spirits to
[F]sorrow and [C]hurt
They walk like they're [G]bearing [C]the cross

[Verse 5]
It's [F]an old town
It's a [C]tired old town
In the glare of the midsummer [G]heat
[Am]Daddy says it's a si[G]n to
[F]kill mockingbird[C]s
I think one just [G]fell at my [C]feet[Em]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Innocence lost, [E]Ex perience gained
[F]Into the arms of [C]the pain
[Am]Some understand it's a [E]balancing act
[F]While others look down in their
[G]shame[Am]

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 7]
[C]Daddy will do what [F]we need him to [C]do
For he is the rock of our [G]souls
[Am]He tried t[G]o show us the wa[F]ys
of [C]the world
Sometimes spin [G]out of [C]control

[Verse 8]
It's [F]an old town
It's a [C]tired old town
Few know the right from [G]the wrong
Daddy [Am]says [G]it's [F]a[C][G][C][Am]
[G]sin [F]to kill mocking[C]birds
But I'll bust out [G]singing before [C]long
