[Intro]
G D Em D C   x6
 
[Verse 1]
          G                          D
Well, I'm goin' to a place where the tough guys go
    Em        D   C
And come out even tougher.
  G                       D
A place where a man don't show his feelings,
  Em                D     C
A place where a man don't cry.
           G
Well, they say I'm bein' punished
         D
And they say I can be reformed
    Em            D C
But some day I'll return.
         G                 D
Did they really think that this time it'd work,
    Em             D  C
You knew all along it wouldn't.
 
[Chorus]
G       D
Oh, I'm prison bound
        Em            D    C
I did a crime one too many times.
            G                        D
It's on the outskirts of town by the railroad tracks
          Em         D   C
Where the country moon shines.
G       D
Oh, I'm prison bound
        Em                D    C
Tell my girl I'll be back one day.
G       D
Oh, I'm prison bound
       Em            D  C             G
I may never know any other, any other way.
G D Em D C         G
          Any other way
G D Em D C
 
[Verse 2]
              G                           D
Well, they've taken away my freedom of expression or action
   Em                    D   C
As Johnny says I'll walk the line
     G                          D
With three hots and a cot and a lot of talk
     Em               D   C
With lock-up concrete and steel.
           G
Well, it's cold and it's clammy
         D
Man it's colder than a pimp's heart
      Em       D  C
But I gotta do my time.
          G                             D
There's a lesson to be learned here but what a price to pay
    Em             D   C
You know, I may never learn
 
[Chorus]
G       D
Oh, I'm prison bound
        Em            D    C
I did a crime one too many times.
            G                        D
It's on the outskirts of town by the railroad tracks
          Em         D   C
Where the country moon shines.
G       D
Oh, I'm prison bound
        Em                D    C
Tell my girl I'll be back one day.
G       D
Oh, I'm prison bound
       Em            D  C             G
I may never know any other, any other way.
G D Em D C         G
          Any other way
G D Em D C

Where the country moon shines.

Mutton Chops
Why would you tune down a half step then capo up a full step? You are stupid and I would like to slap you in public.

Shouldn't this be tuned down a half step? Sounds like it should be, not to mention most of their songs are tuned down a half.
