I Got Stripes

KEY: D

D                   A
On a Monday I was arrested
                               D
On a Tuesday they locked me in jail
                              A
On a Wednesday my trial was attested
On a Thursday they said guilty and 
                  D
the judge's gavel fell

I got stripes, stripes around my 
A
shoulders
                               D
I got chains, chains around my feet
I got stripes, stripes around my 
A
shoulders

And them chains, them chains, 
                         D
they're 'bout to drag me down

On a Monday got my striped breeches
On a Tuesday got my ball and chain
On a Wednesday I'm workin' diggin' 
ditches
On a Thursday lawd I beg 'em not to 
knock me down again

I got stripes, stripes around my 
shoulders
I got chains, chains around my feet
I got stripes, stripes around my 
shoulders
And them chains, them chains, 
they're 'bout to drag me down

E                        B7
On a Monday Mama came to see me
On a Tuesday they caught me with a 
E
file
                               B7
On a Wednesday I'm down in solitary
On a Thursday lawd I start on bread 
                E
and water for a while

I got stripes, stripes around my 
B7
shoulders
                               E
I got chains, chains around my feet
I got stripes, stripes around my 
B7
shoulders
And them chains, them chains, 
                         E
they're 'bout to drag me down
