[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh, the age of the inmates
I remem[G]ber quite [D]freely
No younger than twelve,
no older than [A]seventeen
[D]Thrown in like bandits,
[G]cast off like [D]criminals
[G]Inside the [D]grounds,
round the [A]walls, a red [D]wing
From the dirty old mess hall,
you [G]march to a brick [A]wall.[D]
Too weary to talk and too tired to [A]sing.
Oh, it's [D]all afternoon,
you remem[G]ber[D][A][D]
[G]Inside the [D]grounds
round the [A]walls of Red [D]Queen
Oh the gates are cast iron
and the [G]walls are barbed [D]wire
Stay far from the fence
with electricity [A]stained[D][A]
And it's [D]keep down your head
and [G]stay in your num[D]ber
On the [G]inside ground[D]s,
round the [A]walls of Red [D]Wing
Oh, it's fare thee well to the
[G]deep hollow dun[D]geon
Farewell to the boardwalk
that takes [A]you to [D]the [A]screen
And farewell [D]to the minutes
that [G]threaten you with [D]it
In[G]side the [D]grounds,
round the [A]walls of Red [D]Wing[A][D]
It's Minnie a guard
that [G]stands around [D]smilin'
Holdin' his club like he was a [A]king
[D]Hopin' to get you behind
[G]the woodpil[D]ing
In[G]side the [D]grounds
round the [A]wall's red [D]wing[A][D]
The night aimed shadows
through the [G]crossbar win[D]dows
And the wind punched hard
to make the wall siding [A]sing
It's [D]many a night I preten
[G]ded to be [D]sleepin'
On the [G]inside ground[D]s,
round the [A]Walsh Redway
[D]As the rain rattled heavy
on the [G]bunkhouse [D]shingles
And the sounds in the night
that make my ears [A]ring
Tell the [D]keys of the guards,
click [G]the tune of the morn[D]in'
On the [G]inside ground[D]s,
round the [A]walls of Red [D]Wing
All some of us will end up
in [G]St. Cloud [D]Prison
And some of us will wind up
to be lawyers and [A]things
And [D]some of us will stand
to meet [G]you on your [D]crossroads
From [G]inside the [D]grounds
around the [A]walls of Red [D]Wing
From in[G]side the [D]grounds
around the [A]walls of Red [D]Wing
[A][D]
