E                              A
On a long lonesome journey I'm going
           B7                           E
Throw your arms round my neck and don't cry
                                        A
Though in shackles and chains they will take me
     B7                    E
To a prison to stay till I die


E                                    A
And at night through the bars I will gaze at the
stars
    B7                          E
And long for your sweet kiss in vain
                                    A
A piece of stone I will use for my pillow
          B7                       E
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 piece of stone I will use for my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
