[B] [Db] On a Monday [Fm] I was arrested, [Ab] on a Tuesday they locked me [Db] in the jail, on a Wednesday my trial [Ab] was attested, on a Thursday they said guilty and the judge's [Db] gavel fell.
I got stripes, stripes around [Ab] my shoulder, I got chains, chains around [Db] my feet, I got stripes, stripes [Ab] around my shoulder, and them chains, them chains they're about to [Db] drag me down.
On a Monday I got my [Fm] stripe of [Ab] britches, on a Tuesday I got my [Db] ball and chain, on a Wednesday I'm working [Ab] digging ditches, on a Thursday Lord I begged them not to knock me [Db] down again.
I got stripes, stripes [Ab] around my shoulder, I got chains, chains [Db] around my feet, I got stripes, stripes [Ab] around my shoulder, and them chains, them chains they're about to [Fm] drag me [Eb] down.
On a Monday my [Bb] mama come to see me, on a Tuesday they caught [Eb] me with a file, on a Wednesday I'm down [Bb] in solitary, [Gm] on a Thursday Lord I start on bread and water for a [Eb] while.
I got stripes, stripes [Bb] around my shoulder, I got chains, chains [Eb] around my feet, I got stripes, stripes [Bb] around my shoulder, and them chains, them chains they're about to drag [Eb] me down.
