Chorus:---


That's It-- Like most Social D MajorD it's a simple chord progression,
but a lot of fun to play!


Here are a few small changes to the prior transcription to "Prison bound"
from the great social distortion album "Prison bound".     Technically,
it's in the key of GbGb as all of the songs from this record are in flat
keys.    To enable you to play with both open position and/or power
chords and to get the classic social distortion sound, tune your guitar
down a half step or 1 semitone.   Doing this also eliminates writing all
the "flats" in the transcription.   These notes are my own work. ----

The original author has the chord changes correct, it is G-D-E-D-C. but
again, the song is in the key of GbGb and not G+G as written.   The previous
author just did not specify to lower your guitar a half step to play in
key with the recording.   You can play an acoustic version of the song
using all open major chords on a 6 or 12 string acoustic and sound really
cool.   Practice different strumming patterns to sound really country. 


I will be submitting many social distortion songs in the near future.
