"Pike County Jail"
Tabbed by: Al Warren
 ----------------------------------
Capo 2
Intro: C, G, D, G
                 D
Well they locked me up
    C                G
For what they said I done
            D
Just sellin whiskey
         C      G
I wasn't hurtin anyone
              B
Well the sheriff came and took
           C        G
All my money and my mash
B

I just thank my lucky stars
        C              G           That he didn?t find my stash
    B
And every day I wake up
    C             G
One closer to the end
  D
I swear when I get out of here

I'll never be back again

Chorus:
           C
Cause that Pike County Jail
           G
It ain't no place to be
      C
It's hard and cold like the soul
                           D
Of the man that?s watching me
      G
It'll make you think about

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

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

Before my life begins

Chorus:
           C
Cause that Pike County Jail
         G
It ain't no place to be
      C
It's hard and cold like the soul
                                              D
Of the man that?s watching me
      G
It'll make you think about
                                                           C
The way your life should be
          G
But I got two years left
         C               D
On a five year stretch before they set me free
