chords or was able to translate the original version on piano by Morrissey. However I
was able to translate an almost identical (Chord wise) acoustic version by Colin Meloy
on "Colin Meloy Sings Morrissey." I found help with lyrics from "It May All End Tomorrow"
Morrissey
I've Changed My Plea to Guilty
from Viva Hate (UK) and My early Burglary Years
Intro:
(2X)
Verse 1:
I'm standing in the dock. With my innocent hand on my heart.
/ /
I've changed my plea. I've changed my plea to guilty.
Because freedom is wasted on me. See how your rules spoil the game?
Verse 2:
Outside there is a pain. Emotional air raids exhausted my heart,
/
and it's safer to be inside. So, I'm changing my plea,
/
and no one can dissuade me. Because freedom was wasted on me.
See how your rules spoil the game?
Verse 3:
Something I have learned, if there is one thing in life I've observed,
/
it's that everybody's got somebody. Ooh no, not me.
/
So I've changed my plea to guilty. And reason and freedom is a waste.
It's a lot like life.
