Chords
This version of the song has a bass strum srumming pattern, you don't have to do it.
If you do, instead of strumming on 1, hit the bass note... it sounds kinda cool :)

[Verse 1]
G G It was Christmas in prison C C And the food was real good G G We had turkey and pistols D Carved out of wood G G And I dream of her always C C Even when I don't dream G G Her name's on my tongue D G And her blood's in my stream
[Chorus]
D C G Wait awhile, eternity C G D Old mother nature's got nothing on me G G Come to me, run to me C Come to me now G G We're rolling, my sweetheart D G We're flowing, by God!
[Play Intro]
[Verse 2]
G G She reminds me of a chess game C C With someone I admire G G Or a picnic in the rain G D After a prairie fire G G Her heart is as big C C As this whole goddamn jail G G And she's sweeter than saccharin D G At a drug store sale
[Chorus]
D C G Wait awhile, eternity C G D Old mother nature's got nothing on me G G Come to me, run to me C Come to me now G We're rolling, my sweetheart D G We're flowing, by God!

[Verse 3]
G G The searchlight in the big yard C C Swings round with the gun G G And spotlights the snowflakes G D Like the dust in the sun G G It's Christmas in prison C C There'll be music tonight G G I'll probably get homesick D G I love you, goodnight
[Chorus]
D C G Wait awhile, eternity C G D Old mother nature's got nothing on me G G Come to me, run to me C Come to me now G G We're rolling, my sweetheart D D We're flowing, by God!
