[Intro] A E A A A E A A [Verse 1]
                          E             A
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me

                           D               A
You've blistered me since nineteen sixty three

      D                                       A
I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die

                E             A
And long ago I stopped askin' why

                    E             A
San Quentin, I hate every inch of you

                       D                      A
You've cut me and you scarred me through and through

    D                            A
And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man

                   E                A
Mister Congressman you can't understand
[Guitar Solo] A E A A A E A A D D A A A E A A [Verse 2]
                       E                A
San Quentin, what good do you think you do?

                      D                     A
Do you think I'll be different when you're through?

    D                                       A
You bend my heart and mind and you warp my soul,

                             E               A
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold

                      D               A
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell

                                       E
May your walls fall and may I live to tell

     A                             D
May all the world forget you ever stood

        A                 E              A
And may all the world regret you did no good

                   E              A   E  A
San Quentin, I hate every inch of you
