Alabama - Love In The First Degree

0Verse:
  G#0                      D#1
1I once thought of love as a prison,
    C#2                  G#3
A4 place I didn't want to be,
A#m5            G#6
2So long ago, I made a decision
       A#m7               D#8
3To be footloose and fancy-free.
    G#9                   D#10
4But you came and I was so tempted,
   C#11                     G#12
5To gamble on love just one time,
   A#m13          G#14
6I never thought, I would get caught,
    A#m15                  D#16
7It seemed like the perfect crime.

9Chorus:
C#17                G#18
10Baby you left me defenseless,
C#19               G#20
11I've only got one plea,
A#m21             G#22
12Lock me away, inside of your love,
     A#m23            D#24
13And throw away the key.
    C#25
14I'm guilty,
    D#26                G#27
15Of love in the first degree.

17Verse:
G#28                     D#29
18I thought it would be so simple,
      C#30
19Like a thousand times before,
   A#m31                   G#32
20I'd take what I wanted, and just walk away,
      A#m33               D#34
21But I never made it to the door.
     G#35                      D#36
22Now babe I'm not begging for mercy,
     C#37                        G#38
23Go ahead and throw the book at me,
   A#m39                G#40
24If loving you's a crime, I know that I'm
   A#m41                D#42
25As guilty as a man can be.
26
27Chorus:
C#43                G#44
28Baby you left me defenseless,
C#45               G#46
29I've only got one plea,
A#m47             G#48
30Lock me away, inside of your love,
     A#m49            D#50
31And throw away the key.
    C#51
32I'm guilty,
    D#52                G#53
33Of love in the first degree.
