The Warden Chords by Old Crow Medicine Show

_ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _
Where the warden stands tall as he walks down the hall _
Puts all our lives on [A] a shelf _ _ _ _
[D] Holding the keys [G] to our misery _ _
How does he live with himself? _ _ _ _
How does the [G] _
[D] warden sleep at night
After the long [A] day's through?
_ _ Does [D] he toss and turn?
Does [G] his [D] conscience burn? _
Is he a prisoner too? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
Down in this pen full [G] of sorrow [D] and sin _
Do the days weigh on [A] his chest?
_ _ When [D] the warden goes home, do [G] his house made [D] of stone? _
How does he [A] get any rest? _ _ _
[G] How does the _ [D]
warden sleep at night
After the long [A] day's through?
_ _ Does [D] he toss and turn?
Does [G] his _ [D] conscience burn? _
Is he a [E] prisoner too? _ _ _
[G] Oh, warden, _ _ [D] yeah, warden _ _ _
Are you so different [A] than me? _ _ _
[G] Hey, warden, _ _ [D] mm, warden _ _
What does [A] it mean to [D] be free? _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _
I look through the bars [G] to look at the [D] stars
And we're all the same, so [A] it seems _ _
[D] And just like me, [G] I wonder if he _
Can ever [A] find peace in [D] his dreams _ _ _ _
[G] How does the _ [D] warden sleep at night _
After the long [A] day's through?
_ _ Does he [D] _ toss and turn?
Does his [G] _ conscience burn? _
Is he [A] a prisoner [D] too? _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
Are you [E] a prisoner too? _ _ _ _
