_ [G] On a long, lonesome journey [C] I'm going, _
_ _ [D] Oh, darling, please [G] don't you cry.
[D] _
_ [G] Though in shackles and chains they [C] will take [Am] me,
_ [D] To a prison to stay [G] till I die.
[D] _
_ [G] And at night through the bars [C] I will gaze at the stars,
[D] And long for your kisses [Am] and [G] pain. _
_ And the battle _ I'll use [C] for my pillow,
[Am] _
_ [D] My companions will be [Am] shackles and [G] chains. _

_ [G] But your arms through the bars once [C] more, darling, _

[Am] _
_ [D] In sorrow my haven [G] of _ [D] rest.
_ [G] And at night through the bars I [C] will gaze at the stars,
[D] The plans that we made were [G] in vain.
[D] _
_ [G] And the battle I'll use for [C] my pillow,
[Am] _
_ [D] While I'm sleeping in shackles and [G] _ chains. _
I'll [D] be sleeping in shackles [G] and chains. _ _
