Adam Carroll - Cole guitar chord

adam carroll

song: cole

Capo 2

(G)Cole sits in prison(C)God save his(G)soul

Served six years in Huntsville with(D)ninety-nine to go

(G)Cole killed a banker for a(C)watch and some(G)cash

Now his thoughts fall on stone floor with(D)cigarette(G)ash

Chorus:

And a(C)young sons got(G)nothin but(D)blood on his(G)hands

By the(C)grave that he(G)made for an(D)old wealthy(G)man

His(C)mother is(G)weepin she’s a(D)pitiful(G)sight

But he(C)says he met(G)Jesus in his(D)jail cell(C)tonight

Guards close the big gate with the turn of a hinge

While a lonely old widow sleeps with revenge

Cole sleeps with sunsets and bright midnight stars

And the rhythm of night sticks tappin the bars

Chorus

He lives in his memories he’s got a wife of two years

Her black and white photo is stained with his tears

She left him for Tulsa she Goddamned him to hell

Now she stares at the mirror in a rat trap motel

Chorus

He blends with the inmates they all look the same

They don’t like his face cause they don’t know his name

He’s cursed by the warden he’s calmed by the priest

Where he fights with his conscience for his sins to release

Don’t you cry for me mama my days came and went

Now the chamber is empty and the last shells been spent

Look in on my wife and give her your care

And if I get to heaven I know ill see you there

Chorus
