[Db] [Abm] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab] Got there on [Db] Monday, [Abm] behind this wall and all them doors.

[Ab] [C] [F] Got me doing work, woman, [Db] [Ab] and I never worked before.
[Bbm] About to blow [Ab] my [Abm] fuse, [Ab] mmm, penitentiary blues.
[Eb] [Ab] They gave me clothes on [Abm] Tuesday, [Ab] like I ain't never seen [Eb] before.

Funny [G] square [B]-toed shoes, mmm, penitentiary [Ab] blues.
All that marijuana, sedentary cocaine.
