Doin' My Time Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]On [A]this [D]old rock pile,
with a ball and chain
They call me by a number, not a name
[Dm]Lord, [D]Lord, I've [G]got to do my time
I've got to do my [D]time
With an aching [A]heart
for that gal of [D]mine
You can hear my hammer
You can hear my song
Gonna sing it like John Henry all day long
Lord, Lord, I've [G]gotta do my time
I've got to do my [D]time
With an aching [A]heart
For that gal of [D]mine

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 2]
When that old [D]judge
looked down at me

[Verse 3]
Said, [D]I'm gonna put you in
the penitentiary,
Lord, Lord, I've [G]gotta do my time,
I've gotta do my [D]time

[Verse 4]
[D]With an aching [A]heart
I miss that girl of [D]mine[G][D][A][D]
Well, it won't be long,
just a few more days
They're gonna let me out of here
[Dm]An d[D] I'm gonna stay, Lord,
with [G]that gal of mine
Oh, with that gal of [D]mine
She waited [A]for me
She waited for me
while I done my [D]time
