Shackles and Chains By Jimmie Davis
E A
On a long lonesome journey I'm going
B7 E
Come my Darling nd please don't you cry
A
Tho in Shackles and Chain's they will take me
B7 E
To a Prison to stay til I die
And a night thru the bars
A
I will gaze at the Stars
B7 E
And long for your kisses in vane
A
A piece of stone I will use as my pillow
B7 E
And my Companion will be Shackles and Chain's
A
Put your arms thru these bars once my Darling
B7 E
Let me kiss those sweet lips that I love so
A
In heartache you're my consolation
B7 E
In sorrow my Haven of rest
And a night thru the bars
A
I will gaze at the Stars
B7 E
And long for your kisses in vane
A
A piece of stone I will use as my pillow
B7 E
And my Companion will be Shackles and Chain's

On a long lonesome journey I'm going
