Shackles And Chains chords by Stonewall Jackson

G                               C
On a long lonesome journey I am going

   D7                            G
Oh my sweet little darling don't cry

                                     C
For in shackles and chains they will take me

     D7                    G
To a prison to live till I die


                                       C
And each night through the bars I will gaze at the stars

   D7                        G
My dreams dear for you so in vain

                                   C
A piece of stone I will use for my pillow

          D7                       G
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains


                                           C
Put your arms through these bars once more darling

      D7                            G
Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best

                            C
In sorrow they were my consolation

    D7                      G
And in sadness my heaven of rest
