Hey, this is my first posting, and i never liked the other versions of Prison Bound on acoustic, so I thought I'd post my own. "Prison Bound" by Social Distortion, on "Prison Bound" circa 1988 Standard Tuning, Capo 3rd Fret All of the song follows a basic bass strum pattern for C and G, straight strumming for F. Intro: F Verse 1: F Well I'm Goin' to a place where the tough guys go, and come out even tougher. F A place where a man don't show his feelings, a place where a man don't cry. Am Well they say I'm being punished and they say I can be reformed, but someday F I'll Return.
G Did they really think that this time it'd work? You knew all along it F wouldn't! Chorus: F Oh, I'm prison bound, I did a crime one too many times. Am It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks, where the country F moon shines. F Oh, I'm prison bound, tell my girl I'll be back one day. F Oh, I'm prison bound, I may never know any other, any other way. F any other way. Verse 2: Am Well they take away my freedom of expression and action, but Johnny says I F walk the line. F With three hots and a cot, and allot of talk that locks up concrete and steel G Well it's cold and it's clammy, and it's colder than a pimp's heart, but I've F gotta do my time. Am There's a lesson to be learned here, but what a price to pay, you know, I may F never learn. Chorus: (Play 2x more) F Oh, I'm prison bound, I did a crime one too many times Am It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks, where the country F moon shines. F Oh, I'm prison bound, tell my girl I'll be back one day. F Oh, I'm prison bound, I may never know any other, any other way. F
