San Quentin
guitar chords lyrics
Capo 1st fret
Intro:
||: A | E | A | A :||
A E A
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.
D A
You've galled at me since nineteen-sixty-three.
D A
I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen 'em die.
E A
And long ago I stopped askin' why.
A E A
San Quentin, I hate ev'ry inch of you.
D A
You've cut me and you've scarred me through and through.
D A
And I'll walk out a wiser, weaker man.
E A
Mister congressman, why can't you under-stand?
Guitar solo:
||: A | E | A | A :||
| D | D | A | A |
| A | E | A | A |
A E 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 bend my heart and mind, and you warp my soul.
E A
Your stone walls turn my blood a little cold.
A E 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.
E A
And the whole world will re-gret you did no good.
E A
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.
