Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]On a Monday, I was arres[G]ted
On a Tuesday, they got me in the [C]cell
On a Wednesday, my trial [G]was attested
And the judge found me guilty
and then his gavel [C]fell

[Verse 2]
I got [C]stripes, stripes across [G]my shoulders
I got chains, chains around my [C]feet
I got stripes, stripes across [G]my shoulders
And them chains, them chains,
they're gonna drag [C]me down

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 3]
On a Monday, my [C]momma [G]come to see me
On a Tuesday, they caught me with her [C]file
On a Wednesday, I'm stuck in solit[G]ary
On a Thursday, I'm in the hot sun,
breaking rocks in a [C]pile

[Verse 4]
I got stripes, [C]stripes across my [G]shoulders
I got chains, chains around my [C]feet
I got stripes, stripes across [G]my shoulders
And them chains, them chains,

[Interlude 2]
they're gonna drag me down
[C][D][G][C][D][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 5]
On [C]a Monday, I got my strip[G]ing bridges
On a Tuesday, hey I got my ball [C]and chain
On a Wednesday,
they got me digging [G]ditches
On a Thursday, God,
I begged him not to knock me down [C]again

[Verse 6]
I got [C]stripes, stripes across [G]my shoulders
I got chains, chains around my [C]feet
I got stripes, stripes across my [G]shoulders
And them chains, them chains,
they're gonna drag [C]me down

[Verse 7]
And them [G]chains, them chains,
they're gonna drag [C]me down
Down, down, down, down, down
Down (aye, thank you all)
