"Love In The First Degree"

By: Alabama

Written By: Jim Hunt & Tim Dubois

Album: Feels So Right

Key: G#

Capo 1st Fret

1st Verse:

G D

I once thought of love as a prison,

C G

A place I didn't want to be,

Am G

So long ago, I made a decision

Am D

To be footloose and fancy-free.

G D

But you came and I was so tempted,

C G

To gamble on love just one time,

Am G

I never thought, I would get caught,

Am D

It seemed like the perfect crime.

Chorus:

C G

Baby you left me defenseless,

C G

I've only got one plea,

Am G

Lock me away, inside of your love,

Am D

And throw away the key.

C

I'm guilty,

D G

Of love in the first degree.

2nd Verse:

G D

I thought it would be so simple,

C

Like a thousand times before,

Am G

I'd take what I wanted, and just walk away,

Am D

But I never made it to the door.

G D

Now babe I'm not begging for mercy,

C G

Go ahead and throw the book at me,

Am G

If loving you's a crime, I know that I'm

Am D

As guilty as a man can be.

(Repeat Chorus)

C G

Tag: Love in the first degree.

(Alternate between Chorus and Tags and fade out)

The greatest band of all time....Alabama!!!!
