[E] [B]
[A] [E]
I've got a sad, sad [B] story, friend, [A] that I don't like to [E] tell.
I had a home and [B] family, [A] oh, and they locked me [E] in this cell.
[A] I've been [B] in here eighteen [A] years, a long, long time,
[E] but time don't [B] mean a thing to me, [A] cause I've got [E] life to go.
Well, I went one night [B] where the lights were bright, [A] just to see what [E] I could see.
I met up with [B] an old friend who [A] just thought the world [E] of me.
Well, [A] he bought me drinks [B] and he took me to [A] every honky-tonk [E] in town.
Then words were said, [B] and now he's dead, [A] I just had to bring [E] him down.
Well, it's been a long, long [B] time now [A] since I've heard from [E] my wife.
I know I'd be there [B] with her yet [A] if I hadn't used [E] the knife.
Well, I [A] bet,
[B] [A] don't realize, [E] her daddy's been here [B] eighteen years [A] and still got [E] life to go.
Well, I bet there's not [B] one man outside [A] that's spent this [E] long in jail.
I'll be here in [B] this prison till [A] my body's [E] just a shell.
No, [A] I can't be free [B] to go and see [A] the ones that I [E] love so.
I've been in [B] here eighteen years, [A] I've still got [E] life to go.
Yes, [A] I've still got [E] life to go.
Oh, [A] I've still got [E] life to go.
[A] [Em]
