INTRO: G Am D C G Am They built a prison by the freeway D Just to rub it in It's a gentle reminder C G Of the wages of sin Am The ones on the inside D Are being paid their share There's a hundred stories C G For every man in there Am There's marks on the cell wall D There's marks on the men One counts off the time lost C G C The other counts 'til the end CHORUS: G Jailbirds in the big house Am Jailbirds in the sky Singing of their innocence Em D C They'll sing by and by G Jailbirds in the big house Jailbirds on a spree Am Some of them could'a looked like you Em D G Some of them used to look like me Am Well, Teddy was a bad kid D From a bad family tree He was voted most likely C G To commit a felony Am And that was just in grade school D After that he disappeared They say he moved, or he dropped out C G And he's faded with the years Am A red hand in the cookie jar D A foot in potter's field His face was waiting for a number C G C His fate was aching to be sealed CHORUS: G Jailbirds in the big house Am Jailbirds in the sky Singing of their innocence Em D C They'll sing by and by G Jailbirds in the big house Jailbirds on a spree Am Some of them could'a looked like you Em D G Some of them used to look like me Teddy had a girlfriend Am D Who gave him a place to stay But he left with her TV set C G And a baby on the way Am And if you should run across him D He could shorten your life With the butt of a pistol C G Or the edge of a knife Am He'll sing a song of the rock pile Mourning all he had D All the luck in all the world C G C And most of it was bad CHORUS: G Jailbirds in the big house Am Jailbirds in the sky Singing of their innocence Em D C They'll sing by and by G Jailbirds in the big house Jailbirds on a spree Am Some of them could'a looked like you Em D G Some of them used to look like me
