_ _ _ _ _ [E] The culture of a thousand years is shattered with the clanging of the cell door behind you
life outside immediately becomes
Unreal you begin to not care that it exists
_ All you have with you in the cell is your bare animal instinct _ _
behind the [F] bars
locked out from society
You're being rehabilitated corrected
rebriefed reeducated on life itself
Without your having the opportunity of really reliving it.
You're the object of a widely planned
program combining isolation punishment training
Briefing etc designed to make you sorry for your mistakes
To reenlighten you on what you should and shouldn't do outside so that when you're released
If you ever are you come out
Clean to a world that's supposed to welcome you and forgive you _ can it work? _ _
[B] Hell no you say _ [C] how could this torment possibly [Ebm] do anyone any good?
_ [E] But then why else are you locked in?
_ _ _ [F] You'd like to say
[N] You're waiting for something
But nothing ever happens
_ _ There's nothing to look forward to _

I hear the train
It's rolling around there
I see the sunshine
I don't know where [A] I'm stuck in full
And _ time eats [E] dragging on
But _ _ _ [B] that's rain keeps rolling
all down the
[E] side of the throne
When I was just a baby
My mama told me son
Always be a good boy.
Don't ever play with guns, [A] but I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch [E] him die
[Gb]
When [E] _ _ _ [Bb] [B] I hear that whistle blowing I ain't my head

[E] _ _ _ bet _ _ _ _ _ there's rich folksy and a fancy dining car
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking mixed cigar
[A] Well, I know I had it coming.
_ I know I can't [E] be free
But _ _
_ [Ebm] [B] those people keep a-moving
_ And that's what [E] tortures me _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ Well if they drink from this fish if that railroad train was mine
Then I'd move it on a little farther down the line
[A] far from post prison
That's where I want to [E] stay
[Gb] And [E] _ _ _
[Gb] [B] I'd let that lonesome whistle
blow my blues [E] away
_ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ Yeah, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [C] _

_ Thank you [Bm] very much, _ I love you too.
Thank [Eb] _
