Verse 8
Dm
Rubin could take a man out
Bb
with just one punch
Dm
But he never did like to talk about

it all that much

It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay

And when it's over

Verse 9
Dm
Bb
All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
Dm
The trial was a pig-circus,
Bb
he never had a chance
Dm
The judge made Rubin's witnesses
Bb
drunkards from the slums
Dm
To the white folks who watched
Bb
he was a revolutionary bum
F
And to the black folks
Bb
he was just a crazy nigger
F
Bb
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
Gm
F
And though they could not produce the gun
Gm
F
The D.A. said he was the one

Dm
who did the deed

C
And the all-white jury agreed

Verse 10
Dm
Bb
Rubin Carter was falsely tried
Dm
The crime was murder one,
Bb
guess who testified
Dm
Bb
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
Dm
And the newspapers,
Bb
they all went along for the ride
F
Bb
How can the life of such a man
F
Bb
Be in the palm of some fool's hand
Gm
F
To see him obviously framed
Gm
F
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed
Am
Dm
to live in a land
Bb
F
C
Where justice is a game

Dm
Bb
Verse 11
Dm
Now all the criminals
Bb
in their coats and their ties
Dm
Are free to drink martinis
Bb
and watch the sun rise
Dm
Bb
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
Dm
Bb
An innocent man in a living hell
F
Bb
That's the story of the Hurricane
F
Bb
But it won't be over till they clear his name
Gm
F
And give him back the time he's done
Gm
Put in a prison cell,
F
Am
Dm
but one time he could-a been
Bb
F
C
The champion of the world
