Lynyrd Skynyrd – Four Walls Of Raiford (Ukulele)

C
Now these four walls of Raiford closing in on me.

       F                           F         C 
Doing three to five hard labor for armed robbery.

 C 
I put two years well behind me, but I could not wait the time

         F                                          F     C 
For everytime I thought about it, Lord I died some more inside.

C                                 
And they put stripes on my back.  Memories of hurt.

             F                              F        C
And the only time I seen sunshine is when I shoveled dirt.

C
Digging ditches on the chain gain and sleeping in the holes.

     F                                          F     C
Oh Lord, please forgive me because I could not wait paroll.

 C             F 
And I'm coming home to see my Jesus.

                             C 
Lord, it feels so close this time.

                       F                                C 
Please have mercy on a soldier from the Georgia-Florida mines.

          F 
When they find me they must kill me.

          F                                     F 
Oh Jesus save my soul.  I can't go back down to Raiford.

                     C 
I can't take that anymore.

C
When Vietnam was over there was no work here for me.

                F                        F       C
I had a hungry wife and children that I had to feed.

C
Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die.

             F                       F       C
Only me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime.

C
These last few years behind me, Lord they've been so sad.

          F                                    F     C
I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad.

C
And when they find me and kill me, yes when they shoot me down.

               F                         F            C
Won't you fly old glory proudly with my medals on the ground.
