Wichita Jail Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][F][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]I woke up on a
cement floor this mornin',
My head felt like somebody
been walkin' on it,
[F]Don't know how I got here,
Don't re[C]member nothin' at all,
[Am]But if I done [D]all the things
that they say I did,
Well I [G]sure musta had a ball

[Verse 2]
'Cause in [F]thirty more days
I'm goin back home,
[C]To see that gal of mine,
But the Wichita Jail
Is a long long way
From the Tu[G]pelo [D]County [C]lin[Am]e,
I gotta [G]do my time

[Verse 3]
Well I [C]ain't got a cent of the money I had
I spent it
Shirts tore, my shoes got
a big hole in it,
There's [F]a king size knot on
the side of my head
And I [C]got one big black [F]eye
[D]But brother if you think I look bad,
You [G]oughtta see that other guy

[Verse 4]
'Cause in [F]thirty more days
I'm goin' back home,
To [C]see that gal of mine,
But the Wichita Jail
Is a long long way
From [Am]the Tu[C]pelo [D]County [C]lin[Am]e,

[Interlude 1]
I gotta do my time
[G][C]
[F][C][Am]
[D][G][F][C]
[D][C][Am][G]

[Verse 5]
Well this [C]nine pound hammer
feels like it weighs a ton
Makin' lil ones outta big ones
in this red hot Kansas sun
I just [F]hope I can make it thirty more days
And get [C]out of this mess I'm [Am]in,
And if I [D]ever get back to Mississippi
[G]I ain't ever gonna leave again

[Verse 6]
'Cause in [F]thirty more days
I'm goin back home,
To [C]see that gal of mine,
But the Wichita Jail
Is a long long way
From [G]the Tupelo [D]County [C]lin[Am]e,
I gotta do my time
[G]I gotta do my time
I gotta do my [Am]time
I gotta do my [G]time
