SOJA - Prison Blues (acoustic) [Intro] Am C F x4 [Verse 1]
              Am    
These prison blues a standard issue

       C   
Even when our shirts ain't blue

            F
We've got shake downs on a daily

            F
Shanks and ropes, she snitches too

            Am   
Those bars lockin' down a cell block

           C 
Warden's yellin' down the hall

          F
Was you gonna make my prison thicker?

F
Higher, sharper wall?
[Chorus]
          Dm
I lift that hammer, hammer's heavy

               F
And let that fall upon a stone

               C
And let that shake these chains that bind me

                  G
And build these walls I call my home

          Dm
I've got scars that poorly mended

             F
And I don't seem to fit no more

       C
Yet I wake myself each mornin'

       G                         Am C F
Just prepare for what's in store

               Am            C F
For what's in store for me
Am C F [Verse 2]
      Am  
So tonight it's cold cold as bullets

       C
Keys walk up and down my tear

       F
Tell myself the end is coming soon

       F
To chase away the fear,

          Am
That same fear that's got me drinkin'

                C
and put these tracks all down my arm

            F                          F
That same fear's been inside me, ever since I was born
[Chorus]
             Dm
I lift that hammer, hammer's heavy

               F
And let that fall upon a stone

               C
And let that shake these chains that bind me

                  G
And build these walls I call my home

          Dm
I've got scars that poorly mended

             F
And I don't seem to fit no more

       C
Yet I wake myself each mornin'

       G                         Am C F
Just prepare for what's in store

               Am            C F
For what's in store for me
Am C F [Verse 3]
           Am
Freedom's just a distant memory

        C                 
I lose more and more each day

        F
Can't forgive the man inside me

        F
My tranquility is gone

       Am
Every day's like every other 

       C
Every day's like every other

       F
Every day's like every other

       F                  Am
Every day's like..let me out of here

       C
Let me out of here

       F
Let me out of here

       F
Let me out of here
