Nine Pound Steel Chords by Joe Simon

[G] _ _ Through these bars _ I [C] see the sun
_ I'm here [G] because the wrong [C] I've done
_ My [G] woman's knees _ made me [C] ashamed
I _ [G] scoffed at her
Oh, well, I should have stood [C] up like a man
You see, I've got to say [G] good morning
to _ [B] a _ night _ [C] lost in _ me
_ [G] _ _
_ _ They got me working _ _ _ [C] like a slave
_ _ _ [G] Paying for _ _ my [C] mistakes
I _ know [G] someday _ _ I'll [C] be free
_ _ Please, [G] darling, _ oh, honey, [C] wait for me
_ I've got to [G] say good morning to _ [B] a _ night _ [C] lost in you
Good morning to that [G] lost in you
This [C] old jail _ is [G] so cold
I [C] need you, darling
I need your love [G] more and more
_ _ I know someday, _ someday [C] I'll be free
_ _ [G] Please, darling, _ oh, honey, [C] wait for me
Until I lay down [G] this old nine, _ _ _ [B] nine pounds
_ Nine [C] pounds, dear, it's so hard sometimes
[G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _
I'm coming home, _ [C] wait for me
I'm [G] coming home
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
