VERSE:
E minorEm                 E MajorE
I woke up on a cement floor this mornin,
  E minorEm                 E MajorE
My head felt like somebody been walkin' on it,
 A augmentedA
Don't know how I got here,
     E MajorE
Don't remember nothin' at all,
  F#F#
But if I done all the things that they say I did,
    BB
Well I sure musta had a ball

CHORUS:
     A augmentedA
Cause in 30 more days

I'm goin back home,
  E MajorE
To see that gal of mine,
     BB
But the Wichita Jail
   BB
Is a long long way
            DbmDbm
From the Tupelo County line,
        BB
I gotta do my time


VERSE:
    E minorEm
Well I aint got a cent of the money I had
  E MajorE
I spent it
 E minorEm                 E MajorE
Shirts tore, my shoes got a big hole in it,
      A augmentedA
There's a king size knot on the side of my head
    E MajorE
And I got one big black eye
   F#F#
But brother if you think I look bad,
       BB
You oughtta see that other guy

CHORUS:
     A augmentedA
Cause in 30 more days

I'm goin back home,
  E MajorE
To see that gal of mine,
     BB
But the Wichita Jail
   BB
Is a long long way
            DbmDbm
From the Tupelo County line,
        BB
I gotta do my time

VERSE:
      E minorEm                    E MajorE
Well this nine pound hammer feels like it weighs a ton
    E minorEm                       E MajorE
Makin lil ones outta big ones in this red hot Kansas sun
    A augmentedA
I just hope I can make it 30 more days
   E MajorE
And get out of this mess I'm in,
  F#F#
And if I ever get back to Mississippi
  BB
I aint ever gonna leave again


CHORUS:
     A augmentedA
Cause in 30 more days

I'm goin back home,
  E MajorE
To see that gal of mine,
     BB
But the Wichita Jail
   BB
Is a long long way
            DbmDbm
From the Tupelo County line,


OUTRO:
