Eastham Prison Farm Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 1]
Well I [Em]was 21 in the slammer
cuz I like cars that ain't mine
Then I [Em]was on the run
with a hammer-fired gun
smuggled [B]to me by my wife
Before I [Em]could break stride
they caught me with their light,
they told me to raise my arms
Before [Em]the daylight by n[Am]o surprise
I'm back in [B]Eastham Prison [Em]Farm
Mmmhmm, ahhah, ahhah

[Verse 2]
Well I had [Em]to kill a man
he wouldn't leave me alone
so I crushed his skull with a pipe
[Em]I put the blood on my buddy's hands
he was [B]already booked in for life
In order [Em]to make light of the labor inside,
I had to cause myself some harm
I took a [Em]knife to my toes
and I [Am]said my goodbyes
to the [B]Eastham Prison [Em]Farm

[Verse 3]
Ahhah, mmhmm, mmhmm
[Em]Once I left I never was again the same
When [Em]you're on the inside
you do [B]whatever it takes
You turn from a
[Em]schoolboy to a rattlesnake
That no good tune could charm
I'm sorry [Em]sister Marie,
yeah you're [Am]right that I changed
All cuz of [B]Eastham Prison [Em]Farm

[Verse 4]
Mmhmm, mmhmm, mmhmm
[Em]Two years, 16 warrants,
and a handful of banks to our name
[Em]Elizabeth and Chestnut
wanted for [B]murder in four states
On our [Em]way to the Parish on the 23rd of May,
emptied 130 rounds in our car
I [Em]died that day I'm still [Am]glad I escaped
from the [B]Eastham Prison [Em]Farm
Yeah, The [B]Eastham Prison [Em]Farm
Well, The [B]Eastham Prison [Em]Farm
Mmhmm, mmhmm, mmhmm, mmhmm,
mmhmm, mmhmm
