The Warden Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The warden stands tall as
he walks down the hall
Puts all our lives on [A]the shelf
[D]Holding the keys to [G]our miser[D]ies

[Verse 2]
How does he live with himself?
[G]How does [D]the warden sleep at night
After the long day's [A]through?
Does he [D]toss and turn,
does his [G]conscience [D]burn?
Is he a [A]pris[D]oner too?

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

[Verse 3]
[D]Down in this pen full of [G]sorrow and [D]sin
Do the days weigh on his [A]chest?
When the [D]warden goes home
To his [G]house made [D]of stone

[Verse 4]
How does he get any rest?
[G]How does [D]the warden sleep at night
After the long day's [A]through?
Does [D]he toss and turn,
does his con[G]science [D]burn?
Is he a [A]prisoner [D]too?

[Verse 5]
Oh [G]warden, hey [D]warden
Are you so different [A]than me?
Hey [G]warden, [D]warden
What does it [A]mean to be
[D]free?

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][A][G][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 6]
I [D]look through the bars to
look [G]at [D]the stars
And we're all the same so it [A]seems
And [D]just like me I wonder if he
Can ever find [A]peace in his [D]dreams

[Verse 7]
[G]How does [D]the warden [G]sle[D]ep at night
After the long day's [A]through?
Does he [D]toss and turn,
does his [G]conscience [D]burn?
Is he a [A]prisoner [D]too?
[G][D]

[Verse 8]
[D]Are you [A]a prison[Asus4]er too?
