Shackles And Chains chords by Marty Robbins

Chords with lyrics

E MajorE               A augmentedA
On a long lonesome journey I'm going
      B7B7              E MajorE
Throw your arms round my neck and don't cry
                    A augmentedA
Though in shackles and chains they will take me
   B7B7          E MajorE
To a prison to stay till I die


E MajorE                  A augmentedA
And at night through the bars I will gaze at the
stars
  B7B7             E MajorE
And long for your sweet kiss in vain
                  A augmentedA
A majorA piece of stone I will use for my pillow
     B7B7            E MajorE
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
[ steel ]
Put your arms through these bars once my darling
Let me kiss so sweet lips I love best
In heartaches you're my consolation
And in sorrow my heaven of rest

And at night through the bars I will gaze at the stars
The plans that we've made were in vain
A augmentedA piece of stone I will use for my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
