[Verse 1]
G G7 C Am
On a long lonesome journey, I am goin'
D7 G
Oh, darling please don't you cry
G G7 C
Though in shackles and chains they will take me
D7 G
To a prison to go till I die
[Chorus]
G G7 C Am
And at night, through these bars, I will gaze at the stars
D D7 G
And long for your kisses in vain
G G7 C Am
A peice of stone I will use for my pillow
D7 G
While i'm sleeping in shackles and chains
[Mandolin Break 1]
G G7 C D7 G G G7 C Am D7 G
[Verse 2]
G G7 C Am
Slip your arms through these bars, once more darlin'
D7 G
Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best
G G7 C Am
Though in sorrow you are my consolation
D7 G
In heartache my haven of rest
[Chorus]
G G7 C Am
And at night, through these bars, I will gaze at the stars
D D7 G
And long for your kisses in vain
G G7 C Am
A peice of stone I will use for my pillow
D7 G
My companions will be shackles and chains
