There's a lot of strange men in cell block ten, but the strangest of them all
C G C G C
was a friend of mine who spent his time starin at the wall. Starin at the
G C G C
wall. As he looked at the wall so strong and tall, you could hear him softly
G C G C G C
curse: Nobody at all ever climbed that wall, but I'm gonna be the first. I'm
G
gonna be the first. Well, the warden walked by and said son, don't try, I'd
C G C
hate to see you fall, there is no doubt they'd carry you out if you ever
G
touch that wall. If you ever touch that wall. Well, a year's gone by since he
C G
made his try, but I can still recall how hard he tried and the way he died,
C G C G C
but he never made that wall. He never made that wall. Well, there's never
G C
been a man who ever shook this can, but I know a man who tried. The
C G C G C
newspapers called it a jail break plan, but I know it was suicide. I know it
G
was suicide.
