SHIRLEY CAESAR LIVE - JAILBIRD - DALLAS LOCKETT chords
Jam Along & Learn...
I was sitting [Eb] there when they called the next case
[Db] It was a man bound in [Eb] chains
Tears were rolling [Ab] down his face the [Eb] judge said
You've been found guilty son
You're gonna be sentenced today
[Db] Have you anything to say?
[Ab] Before they carried you away
[Eb] He said I'm just a jailbird and there ain't much to tell
[Db] Been in trouble with the law
[Ab] Since the day I was 12
You [Eb] know what?
Not a man named Jesus today.
He saved me and forgave me
[Db] I just wanna lift my [Ab] voice and praise him while I'm dead
This [Eb] evening, early one sunny morning
It was dark and it was cold
[Db] An angel stood up on death [Eb] row
To receive the [Ab] dead man's [Eb] soul
Somebody shouted on the cell block
Oh jailbird, kindly guide his wings
[Db] I could hear the sounds of church bells
[Ab] And the milligan seemed to ring, you know [Eb] what?
I was just another jailbird
Sitting there in my own cell
[Db] Waiting on the devil to [Ab] come
To take me to a burning hell
You know [Eb] what, you know what
Tonight the Lord appeared
With power in his hands
He said, yeah, [Db] yeah, yeah
He said, be my little jailbird
[Ab] I'm gonna take you to a better land
[Eb] [Ab] Glory to the name [Eb] of Jesus
I'm gonna keep my mind in peace
[Db] I will never be the [Ab] same
He said, he's so kind
[Eb] I'm gonna lift him up forever
Sunshine, oh, stormy weather
You know what, [Db] I've got a right to pray
[Ab] In his name
[Eb] He's a little jailbird
I'm [Bb] gonna pray in his [Eb] name
In the name of Jesus
He's my heart and [Db] my will
I will never be the [Ab] same
He said, save my soul inside my brain
[Eb] I'm gonna lift him up forever
Sunshine, [Ab] oh, stormy weather
[Db] You know what, I've got a right to pray
[Ab] In his name
He's a little [Eb] jailbird Sings
He's a little jailbird
Sings
He's a little jailbird Sings
He's a little jailbird
