HAVE MERCY ON THE CRIMINALElton JohnDon't Shoot Me (I'm Only The Piano Player) (1973)Have you heard the dogs at nightSomewhere on the hillChasing some poor criminalAnd I guess they're out to killOh there must be shackles on his feetAnd mother in his eyesStumbling through the devil-darkWith the hound pack in full cryHave mercy on the criminalWho is running from the lawAre you blind to the winds of changeDon't you hear him any morePraying Lord you got to help meI am never gonna sin againJust take these chains from around my legsSweet Jesus I'll be your friendNow have you ever seen the white teeth gleamWhile you lie on a cold damp groundYou're taking in the face of a rifle buttWhile the wardens hold you downAnd you've never seen a friend in yearsOh it turns your heart to stoneYou jump the walls and the dogs run freeAnd the grave's gonna be your home

Nov 22, 2008 - The guitars on this song are awesome, very mcuh inspired "Layla." The strings blend in well. The talent of EJ, Taupin, Buckmaster and Johnstone combine beautifully.
