Down on this row there ain't much to do
    F                  C
So I close my eyes and dream about you
                                      G
You and that guy I met once or twice
                             Am                 G
It's okay honey, I hope he's treating you nice

       C                                          F
Things here ain't so bad, I've made some friends
                         C
They make me laugh, but I can't pretend
                                          G
When the night gets cold, and I get blue
                        Am         G
Honey, I just wanna hold onto you

   C                         F
Oh Theresa, Theresa my dear
                        C
I stand accused and I'm guilty I fear
We've lived our lives in a corner called Hell
        G                    Am                G
And now you're out there and I'm in this cell

       C                    F
And if you can't be here by midnight
                           C
If all of your connections fail
      Am             D
Say a prayer for me, finger your rosary
G
For I will have left this jail
  F                      C
I will see the cell door open
  F                     Am
I will hear the tolling bells
       C                    F
And if you can't be here by midnight
Em                   G                 C
Darling, I'm wishing, I am wishing you well

Everyday I recall how I got to this place
                           C
I woke up one night with a gun in my face
                              G
I saw a badge and I saw blue
                                             Am   G
That kid couldn't have been more than twenty-two

  C                                    F
I heard you scream, I grabbed his gun
                       C
You broke free and you started to run
                                              G
In the back of the head, now it wasn't clean
                     Am
Meanest thing I have ever seen

   C                         F
Oh Theresa, Theresa my dear
                        C
I stand accused and I'm guilty, I fear
We've lived our lives in this corner called Hell
        G                    Am                G
And now you're out there and I'm in this cell

       C                    F
And if you can't be here by midnight
                           C
If all of your connections fail
      Am             D
Say a prayer for me, finger your rosary
G
For I will have left this jail
  F                      C
I will see the cell door open
  F                     Am
I will hear the tolling bells
       C                    F
And if you can't be here by midnight
Em                   G                 C    F  C
Darling, I'm wishing, I am wishing you well
     G           C    F  C
I am wishing you well
     G           C    F  C  G
I am wishing you well
