I've got a sad sad story friends that I don't like to tell, 
  G              D                C                 G 
I had a home and family when they locked me in this cell, 
C                 D                 C                 G 
I've been in here eighteen years, a long, long time I know, 
G                     D                   C                G     G

Well I went one night where the lights were bright just to see what I could see, 
G                D              C                    G 
I met up with an old friend who thought the world of me, 
        C                    D                C             G 
Well he bought me drinks and took me to every honky tonk in town,

Words were said, and now he's dead, I just had to bring him down.

Well it's been a long long time now, since I've heard from my wife, 
G                   D             C                G 
I know I'd be there with her if I hadn't used that knife, 
       C               D            C                G 
Well I bet that little girl of mine don't realize or know,

Well I'll bet there's not one man outside who's spent this long in jail. 
     G               D              C             G 
I'll be here in this prison 'til my body's just a shell.
