Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]

 G minorGm
I remember last election, Jim Jones got election.
                           D MajorD
He said he's voting for the man who pays the biggest price.
                           D7D7
The next day after poll, he voted away his heart and soul.
  A augmentedA                D MajorD
But instead of voting once, he voted twice.


[Chorus 1]

G minorGm
He's in the jailhouse now.
C minorCm
He's in the jailhouse now.
D MajorD
Instead of staying at home, and leaving the rich folks' business alone:
           G minorGm
He's in the jailhouse now.

[Verse 2]

    G minorGm
Do you remember Henry Cruise? He sold that no good booze.
                   D MajorD
He sold it down to the police at the beat.
And now Henry's feeling funny, 'cause the police give him mob money:
A augmentedA                  D MajorD
He's got a ball and chain around his feet.


[Chorus 2]

G minorGm
He's in the jailhouse now.
C minorCm
He's in the jailhouse now.
D MajorD
The judge gave him 10 years, now Henry's shedding tears, boo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
           G minorGm
He's in the jailhouse now.

[Verse 3]

G minorGm
Son went walking down the street, a little chick he chanced to meet:
                D MajorD
So he went to every tavern in town.
He drank lots of liquor, and the troubles soon got thicker,
A augmentedA         D MajorD
now he's jailhouse bound

[Chorus 2]

G minorGm
He's in the jailhouse now.
C minorCm
He's in the jailhouse now.
D MajorD
And if he's got a political friend, the judges sentence he will surely suspend
           G minorGm
He's in the jailhouse now.

[Verse 3]

G minorGm
Jim Jones likes to roam around, with every little girl in town,
             D MajorD
until he met with Benny's wife.            (slow down)
Then Benny got him in the face, and now he's a big disgrace.
A augmentedA           D MajorD
And now he's graveyard bound


[Chorus 2]

G minorGm
Aaahooooooooo
C minorCm
Aiiiiiiiiuuuuuo
D MajorD
Well they used to be friends, but let's let that little matter end now
           G minorGm    D MajorD       G minorGm
He's in the graveyard now, six feet under the ground..... Two-three-four
