A N.C.                   A                          D
   He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now

   E7
I told him once or twice

   E7
To quit playing cards and shooting dice

                      A
He's in the jailhouse now
[Verse 1]
A
I had a friend named Rambling Bob

A
   Who used to steal, gamble and rob

                                       D
He thought he was the smartest guy in town

    D
But I found out last Monday

     D
That Bob got locked up Sunday

        B7                               E7
They've got him in the jailhouse way downtown
[Chorus]
E7 N.C.                  A                          D
   He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now

   E7
I told him once or twice

   E7
To quit playing cards and shooting dice

                      A
He's in the jailhouse now
[Guitar Solo] A D E7 E7 A [Verse 2]
A
I went out last Tuesday

A
Met a girl named Susie

                                   D
I told her I was the swellest man around

   D
We started to spend my money

         D
Then she started to call me honey

   B7                          E7
We took in every honky-tonk in town
[Chorus]
E7 N.C.                   A                           D
   We're in the jailhouse now, we're in the jailhouse now

  E7
I told the judge right to his face

E7
We didn't like to see this place

                       A
We're in the jailhouse now
