Todd Snider - Incarcerated guitar chord

E

My baby mother been incarcerated

Otherwise she woulda been here today to

testify to every word I stated

while it may be complicated this is true in a way

B

You see this woman here today I hardly even know her

okay, maybe once or twice I mighta give her a lift, but

E

she never lent me any money you honor

every penny that she give me she said was a gift

B E

she said that it was a gift, she said it was a gift

my baby mother been incarcerated

she had some trouble with an interstate cop who

said he saw her driving by obliterated

and was further frustrated by the way she wouldn't stop

B

so he called out all the other cops

and had a high speed chase

chased my baby through the side of a tree

E

that's when I think they might've planted

marijuana in her suitcase

the court appointed lawyer told us cop a plea

B E

so we copped a plea, we copped a plea

my baby mother been incarcerated

A

I never had a lot of luck with the ladies your honor

I never had a lot of luck with much of anything

E G A G A

A

my baby's mother want to drive a Mercedes your honor

my baby's mother wants to wear a bunch of diamond rings

E G A G B

B

she knows damn well I can't afford these things

E

My baby's mother been incarcerated

I'm kinda glad if I can tell you the truth, but

that don't have a whole lot here to do with this matter

you see this woman here today she just don't have any proof

B

I don't know whose voice that could be

there on the telephone recorder

maybe brother or some other friend that's in on it too

E

maybe the same old friend that came in here

and helped them forge my signature

because that is not my signature I'm telling you the truth

B

I am telling you the truth

E

I'm telling you the truth

my baby's mother been incarcerated

A

I understand about the verdict and everything your honor

your just doing your job and that's all right with me

E G A G A

A

just one more thing before I leave

for my friends and my family

can you tell me when this particular episode

E G A G B

is gonna be on TV

B

I'm gonna be on TV

E

Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer

Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer

Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer

Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer
