Start Jamming...
[Eb]
Warned through a party in the county jail
[Ebm] The prison band was there, they began to [D] wail
[Eb] The band was jumping and the drum began to swing
[Ebm] You should have heard us knocked out, jailbirds [Ab] singing and roar
[Eb]
[Bb] [Dm] Everybody in the whole [Ebm] cell block
[Eb] Was dancing to the tail-high rock
Murphy played it in a saxophone
Little Joe was blowing on the slide [D] trombone
[Eb] The drummer broke the metal, or we crashed boom bang
The whole rhythm section was a purple gang, let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
[Bb] Everybody in the whole cell block
[Eb] Was dancing to the tail-high rock
Number 47 said to number 3
You're the cutest jailbird I [D] ever did see
[Eb] I sure would be delighted with your company
[Ebm] Come on and do the tail-high rock, or we'll be [Ab] in a rut
Everybody, [Eb] let's rock
[Bb] [F] Everybody in the whole cell block
[Bb] Was dancing to the tail-high rock
[Ebm]
[Eb] [Bb] [Ab]
[Eb] Slash, sack, we're sitting on a block of stone
We're in the corner weeping all [D] alone
[Eb] The warden said, hey buddy, don't you be no square
You can't find a partner, use a [Ebm] wooden chair
[Bb] [Dm] Everybody in the whole [Ebm] cell block
[Eb] Was dancing to the tail-high rock
Shifter Henry said, the bugs for heaven's sake
No one's looking at us just to [D] make a break
[Eb] Bugs, he turned to Shifter and he said, Nick, Nick
I wanna stick around, [Ebm] I wanna get my kick and rock
[Eb]
[Bb] [D] [Ebm]
[Eb] Dancing to the tail-high rock
Dancing to the tail-high rock
Dancing to the tail-high [D] rock
[Eb] Dancing to the tail-high rock
[Bb] [N]
