[E] [B] [A]
[E]
I've got a sad, sad [B]
story, friend, [A] that I don't [E] like to tell
I had a home and [B]
family [A] when they locked me in [E] this cell
[A] I've been in [B] here eighteen [A] years, a long, long [E] time, I know
But time don't mean a [B] thing to me, [A] cause I've got [E] life to go
Well, I went one night [B] where the lights were bright, [A] just to see what [E] I could see
I met up with an old [B] friend who [A] just thought the world [E] of me
Well, [A] he bought me drinks [B] and he took me to [A] every honky-tonk [E] in town
Then words were said [B] and now he's dead, I [A] just had to [E] bring him down
Well, it's been a long, [B] long time now [A] since I've heard from [E] my wife
I know I'd be there [B] with her yet if [A] I hadn't [E] used the knife
Well, [A] I'll bet that [B] little girl of mine [A] don't [E] realize, no
Her daddy's been here [B]
eighteen years [A] and still got [E] life to go
Well, I'll bet there's not [B] one man outside [A] that spent this [E] long in jail
I'll be here in [B] this prison [A] till my body's [E] just a shell
No, [A] I can't be free [B] to go and see [A] the ones that I [E] love so
I've been in [B] here eighteen years, [A] I've still got [E] life to go
[A] Yes, I've still got life [E] to go
[A] Oh, I've still got [E] life to go
