Chord/Tab song: Colorado on Trial

Cool & Unusual Punishment


Intro:

Bm E (4X)

Col[Bm]orado you [E]made me love you

[Bm]So I'm putting [E]you on trial

[Bm]For turning me against [E]my own state

To [F#]whom I've been so faithful

And [G]loved exclusively for a while

[Bm]Like any af[E]fair of this kind

[Bm]It began so i[E]nnocently

[Bm]You seduced me w[E]ith your beauty

But[F#] I a sucker for sensation

I [G]found no resistance in me

I [F#]found no strength to [A]leave her

Chorus:

[D]Colorado must [A]take the st[D]and

She has [A]made an a[Bm]dulterer of a [G]happily [A]married [D]man[A]

Colo[D]rado's here [A]for repri[D]mand

She has [A]made an [Bm]adulterer of a [G]happily [A]married [D]man[F#][G][A]

Verse:
My home state of Texas
Has never done anything
To deserve this kind of immoral treatment of
Lying and deception
All in the name of a summer fling, oh

I, a powerless man
I couldn't stand in the shadow
Of her mountains and expect to overcome
The joy of gratitude accompanied
By an indulgent glance
How could any red-blooded man look away?

Chorus

Bridge:

[A]I can tell

[D] [A]
The [A]lawyer that you hired is a

[D]Crook in [A]disguise

You'll [E]walk out of the courtroom

And [D]find the nearest man

Yeah [E]you and I both know

That a [D]jury's gonna be leniant

On a [A]good looking woman, yeah

Instrumental:

D A D A D A E (X2)

[F#] [G] [F#] [A]
Verse:
Colorado, raise your right hand
And look us all in the face
Vow to put an end to the torment
That you've spread around like butter
Never askin what it meant
To institute separation of man and state
And this parallelization disintegrates

Chorus

Outro:(X2)
[D]Colorado,[A]

[D]Colorado,[A]

Colo[Bm]rado must [G]take the [A]stand [D]
