Guitar chords with lyrics

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
