F                               C
Well it's another rainy night, here in my home town
                                                     F
And the rain beats down on the stone surround of the prison grounds
                                                        C
Well you can raise a smile but lower your eyes when you pass by
                                             F
You'd surely understand if you were the man, doing time
Bb                   C   A                  Dm
I guess it's fair to say I had more than my share that day
        Bb              C                F
And you know, I've been told, all prison bars are closed.

[Chorus]
             Bb         Am        Bb        F
So won’t you raise your glass get drunk for me
             Am       Bb    C
'Cos I'm the fool who drank too much, you see.
             Bb       Am Bb        F        Bb                  C       F
So won't you set them up unselfishly please raise your glass to foolish me.
Am Bb C

[Verse 2]
                F                                         C
When I left the factory gate I was perfectly straight and sober
                                                          F
But I stopped for a short one which led to a long one and murder
                                                          C
Well he was six feet five, about twice my size, but I was crazy
                                                    F
Because I heard him say, my wife, in the day was no lady.
Bb                   C   A                  Dm
I guess it's fair to say I had more than my share that day
        Bb              C                    F
And you know, I've been told all prison bars are closed

[Chorus]
             Bb         Am        Bb       F
So won’t you raise your glass and drink to me
             Am       Bb       C
'Cos I'm the fool who left her alone you see.
             Bb       Am Bb        F        Bb                  C       F
So won't you set them up unselfishly please raise your glass to foolish me.
Am Bb C  F
