I'm Amos Lee and this is Christmas in Prison on one mic, one take.
[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.
[Ab] Come to me, run to me, [Db] come to me, now [Ab] we're rolling.
My sweetheart, [Eb] we're flowing by [Ab] God.
[Db] [Ab] [Eb]
She [Ab] reminds me of a chess game [Db] with someone I [Ab] admire.
Or a picnic in the rain after a [Eb] prairie fire.
[Ab] Her heart is as big as [Db] this whole goddamn [Ab] jail.
She's sweeter than saccharine at a [Ebm] [Ab] drugstore sale.
[Eb] Wait a while, [Db] [Ab] eternity.
[Db]
Old Mother [Abm] Nature's got nothing on [Eb] me.
[Ab] Come to me, run to me, [Db] come to me, now [Ab] we're rolling.
My sweetheart, [Eb] we're flowing [Ab] by God.
[Db] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] The searchlight in the big yard [Db] swings around with the [Ab] guns and spotlights.
The snowflakes like dust in [Eb] the sun.
[Abm] It's [Ab] Christmas in prison.
[Db] There'll be music [Fm] tonight.
[Ab] I'll probably get homesick.
[Eb] I love you, [Ab] goodnight.
[Eb] Wait a [Ebm] [Db] while,
[Ab] eternity.
[Db] Old Mother [Abm] Nature's got nothing [Eb] on me.
[Ab] Come to me, run to me, [Db] come to me, [Bbm] now [Ab] we're flowing.
My sweetheart, [Eb] we're rolling.
[Ab]
[Db] My sweetheart, [G] we're flowing by [Ab] God.
