_ _ _ I left the country, it was a warm summer day.
Drove to [C] the [G] city, bought a guitar I [D] could play.
[C] While walking across the street, a car almost run me down.
[G] I hit [C] it on the [G] fender, said you better slow it down.
[D] They jumped from the car and [C] they shot me in the leg.
[G] They put me [C] in the [C#]
[D] Cincinnati jail.
_ [G] I went up for the judge, he said, twenty thousand pounds.
Son, [C] you are the [G] bad guy, the good guy wears a gun.
[C] They put me in a cell with steel for my bed.
[G] _ Steel for a pillow and my legs still full of [D] lead.
You can't get a thing for [C] the pain in the Cincinnati [G] jail.
No, [C] no, [D] no.
_ [G] May he hell, _ _ _ _ Cincinnati jail. _
