Some quality 1929 goodness.
Play the F#dim as either 2x212x or xx1212.
[Verse 1]
C A7 Nobody knows 'bout the jailhouse blues, D7 G7 C Till you get within four walls, C A7 And the old jailer man turns that big black key, D7 G7 That's when your spirit falls. C C7 Then you drag yourself up to the bars F F#dim and while you gaze out at the stars D7 G7 this is what you say...
[Chorus]
C A7 Why did I stray from the righteous path, D7 G7 C Nobody knows but me, C A7 There on the outside you all can laugh, D7 G7 I don't need your sympathy. C C7 For after I've paid for the liquor I sold, F F#dim I'll leave this place worth my weight in gold. C A7 So why did I stray from the righteous path, G7 C Nobody knows but me. C G7 C Nobody knows but me.
[Verse 2]
C A7 When you realize that you're all alone, D7 G7 C Sitting in a two by four C A7 that little cell is just a taste of hell, D7 G7 If you ain't been there before. C C7 You are locked up tight, but they treat you fair. F F#dim You get ev'rything that you need in there D7 G that's just why you say...
[Chorus]
C A7 Why did I stray from the righteous path, D7 G7 C Nobody knows but me, C A7 There on the outside you all can laugh, D7 G7 I don't need your sympathy. C C7 For after I've paid for the liquor I sold, F F#dim I'll leave this place worth my weight in gold. C A7 So why did I stray from the righteous path, D7 G7 C Nobody knows but me. C G7 C Nobody knows but me.
