Breaking rocks in the hot sun,
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money cause I had None,
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and I feel so sad I guess my race is run,
Well she’s the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Robbing people with a six gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I miss my baby and the good fun,
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

This song was originally written by Sonny Curtis who played with Buddy Holly and later
with the Crickets. I have not heard the Crickets recording but have always loved playing
the Bobby Fuller Four version. It has such a unique chord solo which starts off playing
C in three different positions. It’s not too hard to play, once you get the timing for
all those triplets.

If you want to learn The Bobby Fuller Four I Fought the Law guitar chords, The 5 chords we’ll look at are the C major, A major, G major, E major, and D major.
The reason we use all major chords is that the minor versions of any of these chords just require tiny adjustments.
Each one of those minor chords is completely based on its major counterpart

The more you practice, the easier guitar will feel to play I Fought the Law. Guitar is hard to learn in the beginning, but gets easier the longer you stick with it.
