AmPistol shots ring out in the Fbar room nightAmEnter Patty Valentine from the Fupper hallAmShe sees the bartender in a Fpool of bloodAmShe cries out " my god they Fkilled them all"CHere comes the story of the FHurricaneCThe man the authorities Fcame to blameDmFor something that he never CdoneDmPut in a prison cell but Cone EmtimeHe could have
Ambeen the Fchampion of the Cworld G Am F Am F[Zwrotka 2]
AmThree bodies lying there Fdoes Patty seeAmAnd another man name Bello movin around mFysteriously"
AmI didn't do it " he says and he Fthrows up his hands"
AmI was only robbing the register,I Fhope you understandCI saw them leaving " he Fsays and he stopsCOne of us had better Fcall up the copsDmAnd so Patty calls the CcopsDmAnd they arrive on the CscenEme with there red lightsAmFlashing on the Fhot New Jersey Cnight G Am F Am F[Zwrotka 3]
AmMeanwhile somewhere in Fanother part of townAmRubin Carter and a couple of friends are Fdriving aroundAmThe number one contender for the Fheavy weight crownAmHad no idea what kinda Fshit was about to go downCWhen a cop pulled them over to the Fside of the roadCJust like the time before and the the Ftime before thatIn
DmPaterson that's just the way it Cgo'sIf your
Dmblack you might as well not Cshow up Emon the AmstreetLess you
Fwanna draw the Cheat G Am F Am F[Zwrotka 4]
AmAlfred Bello had a partner and he had a Frap for the copsAmHim and Arthur Dextor Bradley were just Fdown prowling aroundAmHe said " I saw two men runnin out,they looked like Fmiddle weightsAmThey jumped in to a white car with Fout of state plates"CAnd Miss Patty Valentine just Fnodded her headCThe cops said "wait a minute boys Fthis ones not dead"So they
Dm took him to the infirmaCryDmAnd although the man could hardly CseeEmHe told them that he Amcould iFdentify the guilty Cman G Am F Am F[Zwrotka 5]
AmFour in the morning and they Fhauled Rubin inAmThey took him to the hospital and Fbrought him up stairsAmThe wounded man looked up through his Fone dying eyeAmSays"why you bring him in for? He Fain't the guyCYes here is the story of the FhurricaneCthe man the authorities FCame to blameDmFor something that he never CdoneDmPut in prison cell but Cone EmtimeHe could have
Ambeen the Fchampion of the Cworld G Am F Am F[Zwrotka 6]
AmFour months later the Fghetto all in flameAmRubin's in South America fFighting for his nameAmWhile Author Dexter Bradley still in the Frobbery gameAmAnd the cops are putting the screws to him looking for Fsomeone to blameC"Remember that murder that Fhappened in the bar ?"C"Remember you said you saw the gFetaway car?"Dm"You think you'd like to play ball with the Claw?""
DmThink it might have been that fighter that you Csaw runEmnin that nAmight""Don't
Fforget that you are Cwhite" G Am F Am F[Zwrotka 7]
AmArthur Dextor Bradley said "FI'm really not sure"AmCops said "a poor boy like you Fcould use a breakAmWe got you for the motel job and we're Ftalking to your friend BelloAmNow you don't want to go back to jail Fbe a nice fellowCYou'll be doing Fsociety a favorCThat son of bitch is Fbrave and getting braverDmWe want to put his ass in a CstirDmWe want to pin this triple CmurEmder on Amhimhe
Fain't no gentleman CJim" G Am F Am F[Zwrotka 8]
AmRubin could take a man out with Fjust nor punchAmBut he never did like to talk about it Fall that muchAm"it's my work"he'd say "I Fdo it for pay"AmAnd when it's over I'd just as Fsoon go on my wayCUp to some FparadiseCWhere the trout streams flow and the Fair is niceDmAnd ride a horse along the CtrailDmBut then they took him to the Cjail EmhouseWhere they
Amtry to turn a Fman into a Cmouse G Am F Am F[Zwrotka 9]
AmAll Rubin's cards were Fmarked in advanceAmThe trial was a pig circus , he never Fhad a chanceAmThe judge made Rubin's witnesses Fdrunkards from the slumsAmTo the white folks who watched he was a Frevolutionary bumCAnd to the black folks he was just a Fcrazy niggerCNo one doubted that he Fpulled the triggerDmAnd though they could not produce the CgunThe
DmD.A said he was the Cone Emwho did the AmdeedAnd the a
Fll white jury Cagreed G Am F Am F[Verse 10]
AmRubin Carter was Ffalsely triedAmThe crime was murder one and Fguess who testifiedAmBello and Bradley and Fthey both badly liedAmAnd the newspapers all went aFlong for the rideCHow can the life of Fsuch a manCBe in the palm of sFome fools handDmTo see him obviously CFramedDmCouldn't help but make me feel aCshamed Emto live a AmlandWhere
Fjustice is a Cgame G Am F Am F[Verse 11]
AmNow all the criminals in their Fcoats and their tiesAmAre free to drink martinis and Fwatch the son riseAmWhile Rubin sit like Buddha in a Ften foot cellAmAn innocent man in a Fliving hellCThat's the story of the FHurricaneCBut it won't be over til they Fclear his nameDmAnd give him back the time he's CdoneDmPut in a prison cell but Cone Emtimehe could have
