I'll Break Out Again Tonight Merle Haggard Verse 1: C Slowly the long day turns to night C G And soon they'll turn out the prison lights G But in my cell I'm making plans G C To be with you at home again Chorus: C G These walls and bars can't hold a dreamin' man G F C So I'll be home to tuck the babies in C G They can chain my body but not my mind G C And I'll break out again tonight
Solo: C G C Verse 2: C The warden thinks I'm in for life C G 'Cause all he's ever seen me wear is stripes G He don't know 'bout my blue suit and my tie G C That I wear when I'm with you each night Chorus: C G These walls and bars can't hold a dreamin' man G F C So I'll be home to tuck the babies in C G They can chain my body but not my mind G C And I'll break out again tonight C G C
