Melissa Etheridge - Prison guitar tab

The Prison

By Melissa Etheridge

From the Album "Skin"

Throughout this song,

you won't take your pinky off the third fret of the high-E string.

The chord names I put above the tablature are the names of the chords

if the pinky was not on the third fret of the high E-string.

C Fmaj7

I have stood inside this prison

C Fmaj7

I have touched its stony walls

C Am

I know before you try to run

Am G

You gotta learn to crawl

C Fmaj7

I tried to leave it all behind me

C Fmaj7

I drove all night, just to drive all day

C Am

But the walls of this prison still surround me

Fmaj7 G Am
