 ----------------------------------
Capo 2
Intro: C, G, D, G+G
         D MajorD
Well they locked me up
  C majorC        G+G
For what they said I done
      D MajorD
Just sellin whiskey
     C majorC   G+G
I wasn't hurtin anyone
       BB
Well the sheriff came and took
      C majorC    G+G
All my money and my mash
BB
I just thank my lucky stars
    C majorC       G+G      That he didn?t find my stash
  BB
And every day I wake up
  C majorC       G+G
One closer to the end
 D MajorD
I swear when I get out of here

I?ll never be back again

Chorus:
      C majorC
Cause that Pike County Jail
      G+G
It ain?t no place to be
   C majorC
It?s hard and cold like the soul
              D MajorD
Of the man that?s watching me
   G+G
It?ll make you think about

             C majorC     The way your life should be
     G+G
But I got two years left
   C majorC         D MajorD
On a five year stretch before they set me free

Verse 2:
      D MajorD
When I get out
   C majorC        G+G
I?ll start my life a new
      D MajorD
Stop sellin whiskey
                       C majorC        G+G
I?ll even work at a job or two
   BB
I?ll find me a woman and
C majorC       G+G
We'll fall in love
BB
Maybe have some baby?s
     C majorC      G+G
With some help from up above
                    BB        C majorC      G+G
And I can?t wait to be this new man
  D MajorD
But I got two more years to pull

Before my life begins

Chorus:
      C majorC
Cause that Pike County Jail
     G+G
It ain?t no place to be
   C majorC
It?s hard and cold like the soul
                       D MajorD
Of the man that?s watching me
   G+G
It?ll make you think about
                              C majorC
The way your life should be
     G+G
But I got two years left
     C majorC        D MajorD
On a five year stretch before they set me free
