Shackles And Chains

G                               C
On a long lonesome journey I am going
   D7                            G
Oh my sweet little darling don't cry
                                     C
For in shackles and chains they will take me
     D7                    G
To a prison to live till I die


                                       C
And each night through the bars I will gaze at the stars
   D7                        G
My dreams dear for you so in vain
                                   C
A piece of stone I will use for my pillow
          D7                       G
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains


                                           C
Put your arms through these bars once more darling
      D7                            G
Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best
                            C
In sorrow they were my consolation
    D7                      G
And in sadness my heaven of rest
