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:

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
