G I've been away so long Wonder where I went wrong C I spent the last year inside a cell G Never ever go away again D I've been so sad and lonely C G Never ever ever gonna go away again It's a waste of time doing time When you didn't commit the crime It wasn't me, it was my brother Bill Emptied out the till, never gonna speak to Bill again He's made me sad and lonely Never ever gonna speak to brother Bill again C G It was no use, they put my brother on the jury C D He bribed the others 'cause he owns the local brewery They let me out today Brother Bill's gonna pay No one's ever gonna speak to Bill again Never ever speak to Bill again He'll be too cold and bony Never ever gonna go away again Never ever gonna go away again Never ever gonna go away again
