Verse 1:
  C           F           G         C
I once had my freedom and my life before me
    F            C                            G     G7
Was brighter and sweeter than all words could tell
    C         F           G         C
But I lost it all for the love of a woman
    F             C            G           C
Now I'll spend my life in this cold prison cell

Chorus:
    C           C7              F
One window four walls aaand the doooor that won't open
F               C                    G
That's the only world that I'll ever see
    C           C7              F
One window four walls aaand the doooor that won't open
    G                        C
The warden takes care of the key

Verse 2:
    C            F          G                C
The first time I saw her my friends tried to warn me
    F         C                          G     G7
But I let her fool me with lips soft and sweet
     C           F            G        C
When I found her there in the arms of another
     F          C             G          C
Just one single shot left her dead at my feet

Chorus:
    C           C7              F
One window four walls aaand the doooor that won't open
F               C                    G
That's the only world that I'll ever see
    C           C7              F
One window four walls aaand the doooor that won't open
    G                        C
The warden takes care of the key

Verse 3:
    C         F              G          C
The jury that tried me would give me no mercy
     F          C                       G
They said I was guilty that I'd have to pay
  C           F              G          C
Behind prison walls and with no hope of freedom
        F          C                G          C
There's nothing to live for there's no need to pray

Chorus:
    C           C7              F
One window four walls aaand the doooor that won't open
F               C                    G
That's the only world that I'll ever see
    C           C7              F
One window four walls aaand the doooor that won't open
    G                        C
The warden takes care of the keeeeey
