Chords for Crosby, Stills & Nash - Prison Song - 10/4/1973 - Winterland (Official)

This is that one I was trying to tell you about earlier.
[F] A song about people in jail.
I don't know if any of you have ever been in jail.
I've been in jail lots.
_ _ I don't much like it.
Anyway, this is a song about some people that are [Cm] doing
lots of time for not very reasonable things, we think.
Anyway, it's Graham's song.
It's wonderful when I don't have to talk.
_ First part of the song is, uh.
He's reminding me of that and he's right.
_ I should never talk.
Rolling Stone is living proof of that.
_ _ _ This one's called the Prison Song. _

Much [Fm] too long.
_ [Cm] And here's a song to sing.
For [Fm] every man inside.
If [Cm] he can hear you sing.
It's an [Gm] open [G] door.
There's [Cm] not a rich man there.
