Version 1Prison Bound by Social Distortion from album Prison Bound written by Mike Ness Eb Tuning - Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb [Intro] G D Em C x6 (passing chord D, from Em to C) [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. Oh, I'm prison bound tell my girl I'll be back one day. Oh, I'm prison bound I may never know any other way. G D Em C x2 (passing chord D, from Em to C) [Verse 2] Well, they've taken away my freedom of expression or action as Johnny says I'll walk the line with three hots and a cot and a lot of talk with lock-up concrete and steel. Well, it's cold and it's clammy man it's colder than a pimp's heart but I gotta do my time. There's a lesson to be learned here but what a price to pay 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. Oh, I'm prison bound tell my girl I'll be back one day. Oh, I'm prison bound I may never know any other way.
