Back Home In Huntsville Again

F                      C
Open the gates up hey screw did you miss me
                                    G
Jimmy, I see that you found a new friend
F                           C
Warden come down here and kiss me hello
                        G           C
cause I'm back home in Huntsville again

[Verse]
                                 F           C
This suit that I'm wearing cost two hundred dollars
                                       G
But I got it free with a three dollar knife
        C                           F             C
I got tailor-made shirts with them long pointy collars
                                 G          C
And all it's gonna cost is ten years of my life

[Chorus]
F                      C
Open the gates up hey screw did you miss me
                                    G
Jimmy, I see that you found a new friend
F                           C
Warden come down here and kiss me hello
           G                        C
cause I'm back home in Huntsville again

[Verse]
                                      F           C
I've been rousted and turned out at three in the morning
                                                     G
I've been roughed up and shook down and stood on my ear
                                  F            C
I've tried to find work but they called me a jailbird
                                   G
So I went for the bundle and I've wound up back here

[Chorus]
F                      C
Open the gates up hey screw did you miss me
                                    G
Jimmy, I see that you found a new friend
F                           C
Warden come down here and kiss me hello
           G                         C
cause I'm back home in Huntsville again

[Verse]
                       F           C
I found me a woman as warm as the sunshine
                                    G
took her a year to slip out of her dress
     C                           F             C
She talked about havin' a little rose-covered cottage
                          G            C
But roses cost money and you know the rest

[Chorus]
F                      C
Open the gates up hey screw did you miss me
                                    G
Jimmy, I see that you found a new friend
F                           C
Warden come down here and kiss me hello
           G                        C
cause I'm back home in Huntsville again
         G                      C
Yes I'm back home in Huntsville again
