You left out a verse: Prohibition's good if it's conducted right. There's no sense in shooting a man 'til he shows flight. Officers kill without a cause, then they complain about our funny laws. Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live. Other than that, great tab! Ry Cooder has been one of my favorite guitar players since the first album in 1970....
