[A#] [B] [C#m]
[F#]
[B] Here in my cell it's [C#] a living [C#m] hell, [F#]
[B] a Lewisburg prison.
Behind a wall of [C#] stone is my [C#m] home, [F#] was my [B] life or isn't.
[D#] Yeah, with his charms he won my [G#m] wife, with the gun I took his [C#] life.
Now I'm paying for my crimes, [F#] here in the pen doing time.
[B] And I know damn well [C#m] it's a living hell, [F#] a [B] Lewisburg prison.
La la la la [C#m] la la la, [F#] a [B] Lewisburg prison.
April [C#m] 7, 1971, [F#] the mom [B] from her son.
Well, here I am [C#m] in a pen, [F#] you can say I told you so, [B] and you'd be right, you know.
You said that woman wasn't [C#m] no good from the start, [F#] but I couldn't tell that to [B] my heart.
Yeah, when I found her in his arms [C#m] and he challenged me with a knife.
[F#] Oh, I lost my head and now he's dead and I am doing life.
[B] Yeah, here in my [C#m] cell it's a living hell, [F#] a [B] Lewisburg prison.
[C#m] [F#]
[B]
Yeah, I stare at the [C#m] wall and I walk the floor,
[F#] cuss the [B] guards and the bars on the doors.
It's hard to say [C#m] what I really think, [F#] but right about now [B] I sure could use a drink.
Well, I'm praying someday [C#m] that a pardon will come.
[F#] John, your [C#] son.
[B]
Here in my cell [C#m] it's a living hell,
[F#] a [B] Lewisburg prison.
La la la la [C#] la [C#m] la la,
[F#] [B] Lewisburg prison.
Yeah, I'm sitting [C#m] here with that little half-house,
[F#] [B] Lewisburg prison.
