Johnny Cash - San Quentin (in "a" As Requested)) guitar chord

San Quentin

Johnny Cash

(Capo 1st. Fret to match Live CD)

(Intro A-E7-A)

A E7 A

San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me

D A

You've gladded me since nineteen sixty three

D A

I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die

E7 A

And long ago I stopped askin' why

A E7 A

San Quentin, I hate evry inch of you.

D A

You've cut me and have scarred me thru an' thru.

D A

And I'll walk out a wiser, weaker man

E7 A

Mister Congressman why can't you understand.

(Solo A-E7-A-E7-A-D-A-E7-A)

A E7 A

San Quentin, what good do you think you do?

D A

Do you think that I'll be different when you're through?

D A

You bent my heart and mind and you warp my soul,

E7 A

Your stone walls turn my blood a little cold.

A E7 A

San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.

D A

May your walls fall and may I live to tell.

D A

May all the world forget you ever stood.

E7 A

And may all the world regret you did no good.

E7 A

San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.
