_ [D] _ [G] I left [C] the [G] country, it was a warm summer day.
Drove to [C] the [G] city, bought a guitar I [D] could play.
While walking [C] across the street, a car almost brought me down.
[G] I hit [C] it on the [Bm] fender, said, you better [C] slow it down.
[D] They jumped from the car and [C] they shot me in the leg.
[G] They put me [C] in the Cincinnati [D] jail.
_ When [G] I went before [Am] the [G] judge, he said, 20,000 bond?
Son, you [C] are the [G] bad guy.
The good guy [D] wears the gun.
They put [C] me in a cell with a steel for my bed,
[G] a steel for a pillow, and my legs still full of lead.
[D] You can't get a thing for the [C] pain in the [G] Cincinnati jail.
[C] No, no, [D] no.
_ _ [G] Ain't it hell, _ _ _ _ Cincinnati jail. _ _ _
_ _ [C] Ain't it hell, _ _ _ _ [G] Cincinnati jail. _ _ _
_ Now, [D] if it wasn't for a friend, I'd [C] still be in Cincinnati [G] jail.

[G] Well, if you're going to Cincinnati, you better take a friend.
And watch out for the good guys.
They'll [D] really do you [C] in.
They say they're here to help you, but [Am] Hitler said [G] so too.
_ [C] They give a what [G] you're doing.
They [D] just might shoot you too.
The last way it [C] comes to live to tell the tale,
they'll put you in the [D] Cincinnati jail.
