You might be a rich man
[C] living high up [Gm] on the hill
[G]
Coming down to shantytown
[C] Just [G] for a thrill.
I might be a prisoner

No [C] matter who you are when your time is come
You [D] got to go
[Gm] [G]
Feeling mighty lonesome
[C] Hey behind these [G] bars
Counting off the days
[C] Count [Gm] my scars.
