(intro) C G G D G

     G                             
    I've been in jail eleven years 
       C                    G
and parole has just come through,
    the gates will soon swing open 
                          D
wide but I'm not going through.
     C                             
    Jail's the only home I know or 
 G
care to know about,
    please let me stay where I 
          D                 G    G7
belong, please don't let me out.!

 C                               
How could I tell those friends of 
       G
mine they've seen the last of me,
can't I make you understand I never 
         D
can be free ?

world and I don't know the route
that leads to where I may belong,

      G                        
    I had to learn to get along 
     C              G
without a lot of things,
    and I had to learn to live with 
                            D
the loneliness confinement brings.
           C                    
    And I learnt to take no mail 
                G
from home or whatever came about,
    now I'm dug in and I'm happy 
        D                 G   G7
