D  D7  G C G


[Chorus]
G                      C
In this dreary hole of darkness,
      D7                     G
These doors will never swing wide,
G                      C
But will be my home forever,
       D7                 G
It's a wonderful world outside.


[Verse 1]
G                 C
The jury says I’m guilty,
    D7                    G
The judge said ninety and nine,
G                               C
The warden says no chance for a pardon,
        D                  G
To your wonderful world outside.


[Chorus]
G                      C
In this dreary hole of darkness,
      D7                     G
These doors will never swing wide,
G                      C
But will be my home forever,
       D7                 G
It's a wonderful world outside.

[Verse 2]
G                          C
I knew not where she would lead me,
         D7                   G
I didn't know of a husband at home,
G                              C
The last word he said before I shot him,
               D                         G
You’re not the man I've been watching so long.


[Chorus]
G                      C
In this dreary hole of darkness,
      D7                     G
These doors will never swing wide,
G                      C
But will be my home forever,
       D7                 G
It's a wonderful world outside.


[Outro]
G                     C
It will be my home forever,
              D7              N.C.
Though it's a wonderful world outside.
