[D]
I [G] had the flu in the prison infirmary.
My last day I looked up [C] and saw a man wheeled around the [G] corner down to skin and bones,
[C] that's all.
I [G] asked the nurse where he was going.
She [Dm] said hospice down [C] the hall.
He probably [G] won't be in there long.
Any [Dm] day we'll get the [G] call.

I [G] asked if they let family in.
She said not really at [C] the end.
[F]
[C] Truth is I [G] don't have someone.
No friends or next of [C] kin.
[G] The thought of those [C] guys [G] going out alone, [Dm] it hit me somewhere [C] deep.
[F] I [C] asked could [G] I go sit with him [Dm] for some comfort and [G] relief.
Next thing you know [C] I'm on the ward [G] doing things you can't [C] believe.
Like [D] shaving
[Em] Julio's bony [G] head, cracking him up when I [Dm] wash his feet.
Oh, I used to run when [C] I saw Tyrone, [G] knowing your place is what it's [C] all about.
[F] Now he's [Em] here doubled up in pain, [G] cancer eating him from the [Dm] inside out.
[G] [D]
[Dm] I sit and wait [C] outside his stall [G] to help him when [C] he's done.
[G] Whatever shame we might have felt, but all that's come [D] undone.

[Dm] [G] Well, I can't undo the wrong I did.
Give back the life [C] I took.
[F]
[C] But maybe when [G] it comes my turn, I'll get a second [C] look.
[G] I don't know about [Am] religion.
[G] I [Dm] only know what [C] I see.
[D]
[C] And [Em] in the end when I hold their [G] hand, both of us set [D] free.
