[Ab]
It was Christmas in prison and [Db] the food was real [Ab] good.
We had turkey and pestles carved out [Eb] of wood.
[Ab] I dream of her always, even [Db] when I [Fm] don't dream.
I [Ab] dream her name's on my tongue, [Eb] blood's in [Ab] my strain.
[Ebm] Wait a while, [Db]
eternity.
[Ab] [Db] Old Mother Nature's [Ab] got nothing on [Eb] me.

[Db] [Ab] [Eb]
She [Ab] reminds me of a chess game [Db] with someone I [Ab] admire.

She's sweeter than saccharine at a [Ebm] [Ab] drugstore sale.
[Eb] Wait a while, [Db] [Ab] eternity.
