[Verse 1]
C                              
I was raised, born and bred in a 
          F
prairie town
       G                           
When a dark eyed woman really laid 
             C
the feelings down
C                             
We were one, had our fun in our 
          F
younger years
         G
Well I remember damn well she loved 
me
          F                    
And she remembers damn well she 
 C
cared


[Chorus]
C           F          C   F   
Stonegates, closing me in, if I
     C          Bb      F
 get free won't see me again
C           F            C   Am
Stonegates, wish I could be, 
                   F
back in the country, wish I was free

[Verse 2]
C                           
I was down, leaving town on a 
           F
midnight train
       G                     
When a long legged woman come 
                       C
walking down platform A
C                                 
She was lean, made a scene as she 
        F
came my way
        G                          
Well we traveled on down through 
                       F        
the Midwest towns, in Chicago we 
      C
parted ways


[Chorus]
C           F          C   F   
Stonegates, closing me in, if I
     C          Bb      F
 get free won't see me again
C           F            C   Am
Stonegates, wish I could be, 
                   F
back in the country, wish I was free
