Christmas in Prison Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
It was [G]Christmas in prison
And [C]the food was real good
We had [G]turkey and pistols
Carved out of [D]wood
And I dream [G]of her always
Even [C]when I don't dream
Her [G]name's on my tongue
And her [D]blood's in my [G]stream

[Verse 2]
[D]Wait awhile [C]eternity
[G]Old[C] mother nature's
got [G]nothing on [D]me
[G]Come to me
Run to me
[C]Come to me, now
We're [G]rolling
My sweetheart
We're [D]flowing

[Interlude 1]
By God
[G][C][G][D][G]
[C][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
She [G]reminds me of a chess game
With [C]someone I admire
Or [G]a picnic in the rain
After a prairie [D]fire
Her [G]heart is as big
As this [C]whole goddamn jail
And she's [G]sweeter than saccharine
At [D]a drug store [G]sale

[Verse 4]
[D]Wait awhile [C]eternity
[G]Old[C] mother nature's
got [G]nothing on [D]me
[G]Come to me
Run to me
[C]Come to me, now
We're [G]rolling
My sweetheart
We're flow[D]ing

[Interlude 2]
By God
[G][C][G][D][G]
[C][G][D][G]

[Verse 5]
[G]The search light in the big yard
Swings [C]round with the gun
And spot[G]lights the snowflakes
Like the dust in the [D]sun
It's [G]Christmas in prison
There'll be [C]music tonight
I'll [G]probably get homesick
I [D]love you
Goodnight
[G]

[Verse 6]
[D]Wait awhile [C]eternity
[G]Old[C] mother nature's
got [G]nothing on [D]me
[G]Come to me
Run to me
[C]Come to me, now
We're [G]rolling
My sweetheart
We're [D]flowing
By [G]God
