[Intro] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
[Am] [F]
Pistol shots ring out in the bar room night
[Am] [F]
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
[Am] [F]
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
[Am] [F]
Cries out "My God they killed them all!"
[C] [F]
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
[C] [F]
The man the authorities came to blame
[Dm] [C]
For something that he never done
[Dm] [C]
Put in a prison cell but one time
[Em] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
He could have been the champion of the world
[Am] [F]
Three bodies lying there does Patty see
[Am] [F]
And another man named Bello moving around mysteriously
[Am] [F]
"I didn't do it" he says, and he throws up his hands
[Am] [F]
"I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand
[C] [F]
I saw them leavin'," he says and he stops
[C] [F]
One of us had better call the cops
[Dm] [C]
And so Patty calls the cops
[Dm] [C]
And they arrive on the scene
[Em] [Am]
with their red lights flashin'
[F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
In the hot New Jersey night
[Am] [F]
Meanwhile somewhere in another part of town
[Am] [F]
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are driving around
[Am] [F]
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
[Am] [F]
Had no idea what kind of shit was about to go down
[C] [F]
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
[C] [F]
Just like the time before and the time before that
[Dm] [C]
In Patterson that just the ways things go
[Dm] [C]
If you black you might as well not show up on the streets
[Em] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
Less you wanna draw the heat
[Am] [F]
Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
[Am] [F]
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around
[Am] [F]
He said "I saw two men runnin out, they looked like middle-weights
[Am] [F]
They jumped into a white car with out of state plates"
[C] [F]
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
[C] [F]
Cop said "Wait a minute boys, this one's not dead"
[Dm] [C]
So they took him to the infirmary
[Dm] [C]
And although this man could hardly see
[Em] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
They told him that he could identify the guilty men
[Am] [F]
Four in the morning and they haul Rubin in
[Am] [F]
Take him to the hospital and bring him upstairs
[Am] [F]
The wounded man looks up though his one dying eye
[Am] [F]
Says "why'd you bring him here for? He ain't the guy!"
[C] [F]
Yes, here the story of the Hurricane
[C] [F]
The man the authorities came to blame
[Dm] [C]
For something that he never done
[Dm] [C]
Put in a prison cell but one time he could've been
[Em] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
The champion of the world
[Am] [F]
Four months later the ghetto's on flame
[Am] [F]
Rubin's in South America fightin' for his name
[Am] [F]
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
[Am] [F]
And the cops are puttin' the screw to him looking for somebody to blame
[C] [F]
"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?"
[C] [F]
"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"
[Dm] [C]
"You think you'd like to play ball with the law?"
[Dm] [C]
"Think it might have been that fighter that you saw running that night?"
[Em] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
"Don't forget that you are white"
[Am] [F]
Arthur Dexter Bradley said "I'm really not sure"
[Am] [F]
Cops said "A poor boy like you could really use a break
[Am] [F]
We got you for the motel job and were talking to your friend Bello
[Am] [F]
Now you don't want to have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
[C] [F]
You'll be doin' society a favor
[C] [F]
That son of a bitch is brave and getting braver
[Dm] [C]
We want to put his ass in the stir
[Dm] [C]
We want to pin this trip murder on him
[Em] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
He ain't no Gentleman Jim"
[Am] [F]
Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
[Am] [F]
He never did like to talk about it all that much
[Am] [F]
It's my work he'd say, I do it for pay
[Am] [F]
And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
[C] [F]
Up to some paradise
[C] [F]
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
[Dm] [C]
And ride a horse along a trail
[Dm] [C]
But then they took him to the jail house
[Em] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
Where they try to make a man into a mouse
[Am] [F]
All of Rubin's card were marked in advance
[Am] [F]
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
[Am] [F]
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
[Am] [F]
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
[C] [F]
but to the black folks he was a crazy nigger
[C] [F]
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
[Dm] [C]
And though they could not produce the gun
[Dm] [C]
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
[Em] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
And the all-white jury agreed
[Am] [F]
Rubin Carter was falsely tried
[Am] [F]
The crime was murder "one", guess who testified?
[Am] [F]
Bello and Bradley and the both badly lied
[Am] [F]
And the newspapers all went along for the ride
[C] [F]
How can the life of such a man
[C] [F]
Be in the palm of some fool's hand?
[Dm] [C]
To see him obviously framed
[Dm] [C]
Couldn't help make him feel ashamed to live in a land
[Em] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
Where justice is a game
[Am] [F]
Now all the criminal in their coats and their ties
[Am] [F]
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
[Am] [F]
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten foot cell
[Am] [F]
And innocent man in a living hell
[C] [F]
That's the story of the Hurricane
[C] [F]
But it won't be over till they clear his name
[Dm] [C]
And give him back the time he's done
[Dm] [C]
Put in a prison cell but one time he could've been
[Em] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
