Intro: Am C G  
 
Verse 1:
 Am              C       G  
Twelve men broke loose in '73 
From Millhaven maximum security 
Twelve pictures lined up across the front page 
Seems the Mounties had a summertime war to wage 
 
 Am              C       G  
The chief told the people they had nothing to fear 
The last thing they'd wanna do is hang around here 
They mostly came from towns with long French names 
But one of the dozen was a hometown shame 
 
Chorus:
 C/G     D       Am  
Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall 
Been one seat empty 18 years in all 
Freezing slow time away from the world 
He’s 38 years old, never kissed a girl 
He’s 38 years old, never kissed a girl 
 
Verse 2:
 Am              C       G  
We were sittin' at the table, heard the telephone ring 
Father said he'd tell me if he saw anything 
Heard the tap on the window in the middle of the night 
Held back the curtains for my older brother mike 
 
Bridge:
 Am                      D  
See my sister got raped, so a man got killed 
 C/G                     D  
Little boy went to prison, man's buried on the hill 
 Am                      D  
Folks went back to normal when they closed the case 
 C/G                     D  
They still stare at their shoes when they pass our place 
 
Verse 3:
 Am              C       G  
My mother cried the horror has finally ceased 
He whispered yeah, for the time being, at least 
And over his shoulder, on the squad car megaphone 
Said let's go Mikey, son, we're takin' you home 
 
Chorus:
 C/G     D       Am  
Same pattern on the table, same clock on the wall 
Been one seat empty 18 years in all 
Freezing slow time away from the world 
He’s 38 years old, never kissed a girl 
He’s 38 years old, never kissed a girl
