[Intro] Am E7 E Am [Verse 1]
                      E                        Am
And as I got off the train way down in New Orleans

                               E
I grabbed my hat, I put on my coat

                E
Reached for my spliff, yeah

                       Am
I had myself a little smoke, yeah
[Chorus]
                                 E
I was sentenced, living in detention

                           Am
Sentenced, living in detention
[Verse 2]
                         E
And now I'm locked up in jail

                                   Am
I spend my days in a cold dark prison cell

                                  E
I rest alone, I watch myself grow old

                                              Am
And I don't deserve this, I just want to go home
[Chorus]
                                 E
I was sentenced, living in detention

                           Am
Sentenced, living in detention
[Verse 3]
                                          E
I should have known when I shot the man dead

                                          Am
There would be a bounty, a bounty for my head, yeah

                                         E
Well I don't care that that young man's dead

                                                 Am
I'm just missing one thing, a good spliff to my head
[Bridge]
                          Am
I've been talking in my sleep

                         E
I've been waking in my dreams

                         E
I've been living in the past

                      Am
My good old faith is dead
[Chorus]
                                 E
I was sentenced, living in detention

                           Am
Sentenced, living in detention

                                 E
I was sentenced, living in detention

                           Am
Sentenced, living in detention
