[D] [A]
I looked for trouble and I found it's so, straight down the barrel of a law man's gun.
I don't think I can, you make one move and you're a dead man's friend.
[D] Ain't living long [G] like [D] this,
[G] [A] ain't living long like this, you know baby.
[E] They put the hamster from behind my back, left me a-reeling on a steel rail,
now [Dm] they got them all, all in the jailhouse baby.
[G] [A] Ain't living long like this, no, ain't living long like this, you know baby.

Liberty Angel, she's a roadhouse queen, make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee.
I'd like to love her but I don't know how, she's on the bottom in the jailhouse,
[D] now ain't living long like this, ain't [A] living long like this, you know baby.
[E] You know the story about the jailhouse rock, you only do it but just don't get [D] caught,
they got them all [G] [F] in the jailhouse baby.
[A] Ain't living long like this, ain't living long like this, you know baby.
