[F] [C] [Bb]
[F]
[Fm]
[F] I live in cold blue, bare and all by myself, but the sun won't ever shine.
It's a low down place, I mean a mean displace, made by the new and time.
[Bb] You got to break the beads along the chains I'm in, I swear by stars above.
I'd rather do me 90 years on a hard rock pile [C] than to have to [Cm] do without your love.
[F] I'm in a poor man's prison baby, it's been a hard long and lonesome time.
But darling can't you see that you can set me free, cause your loving drives me out of my mind.
[Bb] [G] [Fm]
[F] The snowstorm walls around me and [C] the [F] cold snow under my head.
You know at night I weep, I just can't sleep, I guess I might as well be dead.
[Bb] There's no such a black moon without you baby, I'm seeing you all alone.
I just can't take it, [Bbm] I'm in a slumber, [C] baby won't you come back [F] home.
I'm in a poor man's prison baby, it's been a hard long and lonesome time.
But darling can't you see that you can set me free, [C] cause your loving drives me out of my [Fm] mind.
[Bb] [F]
Break
[Bb] a piece along the chains I'm in, I swear by stars above.
I'd rather do me 90 years on a hard rock pile [C] than to have to do without your love.
[Fm] I'm in a [F] poor man's prison baby.
Oh, I'm all by myself.
