           G            D                  G
    After seven years behind these bars together,
                                D              G           G7
    I'll miss you more than a brother when you go, when you go,
        C                         G
    if only I had not tried to escape,
            A       A7            D            D7
    they'd pardon me with you, I know, yes, I know.
              G                    D                G
    Won't you tell the folks back home I'll soon be coming,
                                D              G       G7
    and don't let them know, I never will be free, be free.
     C                                       G
    Sometimes write and tell me how they're doing,
                D          D7            G  G7
    and send a picture of mother back to me.
     C                              G
    Say hello to Dad and shake his poor hardworking hand,
                D          D7             G
    and send a picture of mother, if you can.
         G         D                      G
    I'm happy for you that you got your freedom,
                            D               G      G7
    but stay with me just another minute or so, or so,
    C                                 G
    after all this sweat 'n’ blood together,
          A               A7              D           D7
    who'll be my fighting partner when you go, when you go ?
         G                D             G
    The hardest time will be on Sunday morning,
                        D            G           G7
    church bells will ring on Heaven Hill, Heaven Hill.
      C                                   G
    Please, ask Reverend Garrett to pray for me,
                D          D7             G   G7
    and send a picture of mother, if you will.
     C                              G
    Say hello to Dad and shake his poor hardworking hand,
                D          D7             G
    and send a picture of mother, if you can.
