This is the version from OCMS's "Remedy" Album D G D D A D D G D D A D
D                            G              D
The warden stands tall as he walks down the hall

D                         A      D
Puts all our lives on the shelf

D            G          D
Holding the keys to our miseries

D           A             D
How does he live with himself?

G                    D
How does the warden sleep at night

D                     A
After the long day's through?

        D                       G           D
Does he toss and turn, does his conscience burn?

            A     D
Is he a prisoner too?
D G D D A D D G D D A D
D                        G          D
Down in this pen full of sorrow and sin

                         A         D
Do the days weigh on his chest?

D
When the warden goes home

       G              D
To his house made of stone

            A       D
How does he get any rest?

G                    D
How does the warden sleep at night

D                    A
After the long day's through?

        D                       G          D
Does he toss and turn, does his conscience burn?

        A        D
Is he a prisoner too?

      G         D
Oh warden, hey warden

           A              D
Are you so different than me?

    G       D
Hey warden, warden

D            A          D
What does it mean to be free?

D                          G           D
I look through the bars to look at the stars

                              A    D
And we're all the same so it seems

D                  G         D
And just like me I wonder if he

              A            D
Can ever find peace in his dreams

G                            D
How does the warden sleep at night

D                    A
After the long day's through?

                 D              G          D
Does he toss and turn, does his conscience burn?

           A     D
Is he a prisoner too?

          A        D
Are you a prisoner too?
