[Verse 1]


G
You hear me singin

G
Down in the bottom of the world

G
A thousand miles from nowhere, dreamin' 'bout a girl

C
She used to love me but I went away

G
They gon' keep me here til it's Judgement Day

D                                     G
Lord, lord, lord, I got the Jailhouse Blues

[Verse 2]

G
Ain't no tellin'

G
What a man will do

G
This old world, to make it through

C
Some would murder with a gun or a knife

G
Some would lock a man away the rest of his life

D                                     G
Lord, lord, lord, I got the Jailhouse Blues




G
I got the Jailhouse Blues

G                     C
Just as blue as I can be

C  D
My baby got a heart

D                  G
Like a rock in the bottom of the sea

G
I got the Jailhouse Blues

G              C
An' it ain't no lie, lawd
G                F# G                  F# G
Lock on the door.      I broke the law

G                   D     G
I got the Jailhouse Blues, (play it for me..)

[Verse 3]

G
They says a blind man

G
Don't see nothin' when he dreams

G
There's plenty things, wish I never seen

C
I wish I never seen her askin' why

G
When they come and taken me, the way that she cried

D
Lord, lord, lord

D                   G
I got the Jailhouse Blues


[Chorus]

G
I got the Jailhouse Blues

G                     C
Just as blue as I can be

C  D
My baby got a heart

D                  G
Like a rock in the bottom of the sea

I got the Jailhouse Blues

Lock on the door.      I broke the law

I got the Jailhouse Blues,

G
I got the Jailhouse Blues

G                     C
Just as blue as I can be

C  D
My baby got a heart

D                  G
Like a rock in the bottom of the sea

I got the Jailhouse Blues
