[Verse 1]
  D              A                 D
Spent too many years inside this prison

 G                   D               A
Too many years just for one little fight

D                D7           G                        G7
He got what was comin' and I think I've served enough time

 D         A     G/D
I'm goin' home tonight

 D                       A
That stone looks mighty cold

         Bm                    D7
And the guard that walks that walk

          G                 D             A
Is just waitin' to get a convict in his sights

       D               D7           G              G7
But if I can clear the top you can bet I'll never stop

  D              A      G/D
Cause I'm goin' home tonight
[Chorus]
          G                G7             D           D7
Because stone walls do a prison make and iron bars a cage

 D                       Bm                A
Any man that says they don'ts never been inside

          D                  D7            G                    G7
Cause in time the bars get closer and at night the walls grow tighter

          D                    A                 G/D
Till you feel like there's a shackle around your mind
[Verse 2]
 D                          D7          G             D7
Now those guards are on my tail, I can hear those sirens wail

       G                  D                       A
But I know that I'll get away and that I'll be alright

            D                 D7         G                   G7
Cause I'd rather live on the run, stand free in the mornin' sun

          D     A7      A            G/D
Than to spend another lonely prison night
[Chorus]
          G                G7             D           D7
Because stone walls do a prison make and iron bars a cage

 D                       Bm                A
Any man that says they don'ts never been inside

          D                  D7            G                    G7
Cause in time the bars get closer and at night the walls grow tighter

          D                    A                 G/D
Till you feel like there's a shackle around your mind
