[G] [B] [Em]
[G] [C] [F] [G] [C]
Slowly the long day turns to [F] night
[F#] [C]
And soon they'll turn out the prison [G] lights
But in my cell I'm making plans
To be with you at home [C] again
[D] [C] These walls and bars can't hold a [G] dreamin' man
So I'll be home to tuck [F] the babies [C]
in
They can chain my body [Am] but not [C] my [Dm] [F] [Em] mind
[G] And I'll break out again [C] tonight

[C] The warden thinks I'm in for life
Cause all he's ever seen me wear is [G] stripes
He [F] don't [G] know about my blue suit and my tie
That I wear when I'm with you [C] each [G] night
