But the strangest of them all 
      F                  C

Just staring at the wall

Staring at the wall

In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote 
                               G7 
And it proves that crime don't pay

As he looked at the wall so strong and tall 
        F               C 
I could hear him softly curse 
  F                C 
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall

But I'm gonna be the first

The warden walked by and said son don't try 
                        G7 
I would hate to see you fall 
      F                      C

A year's gone by since he made his try 
                  G7 
But I can still recall 
    F                     C

    F                      C 
The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan 
      F              C 
But I know it was suicide 
  F              C 
I know it was suicide
