Chords for Johnny Cash sings "The Prisoners Song"

_ _ Through the years, many great country songs have [D] been written, [Ab] songs that endure.
_ [Ab] And of no song is this more true [Db] than the first [Dbm] country song ever to sell one million
records, first recorded by Vernon Dalhart [Bb] back in _ 1924.
[C] The Prisoner song has a simple but a strong lesson [Fm]
that when a man is as low as he can
go, when he's at rock bottom, [Db] fame, [Dbm] fortune, nothing else [Ab] is important except that somebody loves him. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, I wish I had someone _ [Db] to love me, _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ someone to call [Ab] me their own. _ _ _ _
Oh, I wish I had _ someone [Db] to live with, _ _ [Eb] cause I'm tired _ of living _ [Ab] alone. _ _ _ _
Oh, please meet me tonight [C] _ [Dbm] in the _ moonlight.
[Db] _ _
_ [Eb] Please meet me _ tonight [Ab] all alone. _ _ _
For I have a sad story [Db] to tell you. _ _
It's [Eb] a story that's never [Ab] been told. _ _ _ _
_ I'll be carried to the new [Cm] jail [Db] _ tomorrow, _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] leaving my little darling _ [Ab] all alone. _ _ _
With a _ cold prison wall _ [Db] all around me, _ and [Eb] I hid on a pillow _ [Ab] of stone. _ _
Now if I had the _ wings of [Db] an angel, _ _ _ over [Eb] _ these prison walls I would [Ab] fly.
_ I _ would fly to the [Ebm] arms of [Db] my darling, _ _ _ _ [Eb] and there I'd be _ willing to [Ab] _ die. _
