More chords by Jim Croce


D#

Well, there's lots of strange men in cell-block ten,

A#

but the strangest of them all

G# D#

was a pal of mine who would spend his time

Cm D# G# D#

just staring at the wall, staring at the wall.

D#

In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote,

A#

which proves that crime don't pay

G# D#

the very same gal that h'd robbed and stole for,

Cm D# G# D#

naming her wedding day, naming her wedding day.

G# D#

As he looked at the wall so strong and tall,

G# D# G#

I heard him softly curse, "nobody at all

D# Cm D#

has ever made that wall, but I'm gonna be the first,

G# D#

I'm gonna be the first."

G# D#

Many a man who has shook this can,

G# D#

and I know a man who tried.

G# D#

The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan,

Cm D# G# D#

but I know it was suicide; I know that it was suicide.

D# Cm

Well I know that I shouldn't have done it

G# A# D#

I know it just wasn't right.

A# Cm

Cause they got me backed up to the Cottonmouth river

G# A# D#

and I can't cross late at night.
