G / / / C / G / 2 / / / D7 / G /

A-breakin' rocks in the hot sun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law

G / / / C / G / 2 / / / D7 / G /

won

Verse 2:

I needed money 'cause I had none

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and I feel so bad

I guess my race is run

She's the best girl I ever had

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law

G / / / C / G / 2 / / / D7 / G /

won

(instrumental, same pattern as chorus)

Verse 3:

A-robbin' people with a 6 gun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

Verse 4:

I miss my baby and the good fun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

(chorus)
