[Verse 1]
G
You hear me singin
G
Down in the bottom of the world
G
A thousand miles from nowhere, dreamin' 'bout a girl
C
She used to love me but I went away
G
They gon' keep me here til it's Judgement Day
D G
Lord, lord, lord, I got the Jailhouse Blues
[Verse 2]
G
Ain't no tellin'
G
What a man will do
G
This old world, to make it through
C
Some would murder with a gun or a knife
G
Some would lock a man away the rest of his life
D G
Lord, lord, lord, I got the Jailhouse Blues
G
I got the Jailhouse Blues
G C
Just as blue as I can be
C D
My baby got a heart
D G
Like a rock in the bottom of the sea
G
I got the Jailhouse Blues
G C
An' it ain't no lie, lawd
G F# G F# G
Lock on the door. I broke the law
G D G
I got the Jailhouse Blues, (play it for me..)

They says a blind man
G
Don't see nothin' when he dreams

There's plenty things, wish I never seen

When they come and taken me, the way that she cried

Lord, lord, lord

I got the Jailhouse Blues
