JAILBIRD
(Jim White)

A minorAm D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
A minorAm D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
A minorAm D MajorD C majorC D MajorD

  A minorAm     E minorEm       D MajorD
  Dixie is a scourge and a scar
          C majorC          D MajorD
  And a girl in my heart and a state of mind
  A minorAm      E minorEm      D MajorD
  Jesus is the man with a plan
           C majorC           D MajorD
  He's a short haired Mexican friend of mine

 A minorAm               E minorEm
  This small town crowd should've dragged you down
 G+G             D MajorD
  Can't leave your past behind
  A minorAm     E minorEm       D MajorD
  Wipers in the rain tap out time
     G+G     D MajorD
  Coming up on a new state line

    A minorAm      E minorEm
  I wanna be a jailbird
      G+G     D MajorD
  From the prison of my own damn mind
          A minorAm     E minorEm
  Gonna get me a fast car
     G+G       D MajorD
  Set out and see what I can find
        A minorAm        E minorEm
  Brick up the well of tears and disappear
   G+G      D MajorD
  Leave myself behind
       A minorAm     E minorEm
  Gonna be a jailbird
   G+G         D MajorD
  From the prison of my own damn mind

 A minorAm         D MajorD
  Midnight, take a short cut
   C majorC          D MajorD
  Through the downtown cemetery
  A minorAm          D MajorD
  No stepping on graves
        C majorC         D MajorD
  Check the statue of the Virgin Mary
         A minorAm        D MajorD
  She's catching moonlight in the shadows
  C majorC     D MajorD
  Revealing spider webs
     A minorAm          D MajorD
  Can you see the black widow
   C majorC        D MajorD
  Hung between our lady's hands?

     A minorAm      E minorEm
  I wanna be a jailbird
  G+G            D MajorD
  From the prison of my own damn mind
     A minorAm       E minorEm
  Gonna get me a fast car
    G+G       D MajorD
  Set out and see what I can find
        A minorAm         E minorEm
  Brick up the well of tears and disappear
  G+G      D MajorD
  Leave myself behind
       A minorAm      E minorEm
  Gonna be a jailbird
    G+G           D MajorD
  From the prison of my own damn mind

  A minorAm        G+G
  Now used to be when I was young
       A minorAm      D MajorD
  I was so hungry for oblivion
   A minorAm           D MajorD
  My thoughts would linger
  A minorAm        D MajorD
  Like fingers in a deadly web
  A minorAm             D MajorD
  But in time as sorrow showed it's face
  C majorC            D MajorD
  In kind I learned to ache for grace
  A minorAm            D MajorD
  To work and pray to one day Be
     C majorC     D MajorD
  delivered whole, alive and free

         A minorAm      E minorEm
  I wanna be a jailbird
  G+G            D MajorD
  From the prison of my own damn mind
        A minorAm       E minorEm
  Gonna get me a fast car
         G+G       D MajorD
  Set out and see what I can find
         A minorAm        E minorEm
  Brick up the well of tears and disappear
  G+G      D MajorD
  Leave myself behind
       A minorAm      E minorEm
  Gonna be a jailbird
    G+G            D MajorD
