Hey, this is my first posting, and i never liked the other versions of Prison
Bound on acoustic, so I thought I'd post my own.
"Prison Bound" by Social Distortion, on "Prison Bound" circa 1988
Standard Tuning, Capo 3rd Fret
All of the song follows a basic bass strum pattern for C and G, straight strumming for Am-F.
Intro: C G Am G F
Verse 1:
C G Am G F
Well I'm Goin' to a place where the tough guys go, and come out even tougher.
C G Am G F
A place where a man don't show his feelings, a place where a man don't cry.
C G Am
Well they say I'm being punished and they say I can be reformed, but someday
G F
I'll Return.
C G Am G
Did they really think that this time it'd work? You knew all along it
F
wouldn't!
Chorus:
C G Am G F
Oh, I'm prison bound, I did a crime one too many times.
C G Am
It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks, where the country
G F
moon shines.
C G Am G F
Oh, I'm prison bound, tell my girl I'll be back one day.
C G Am G F
Oh, I'm prison bound, I may never know any other, any other way.
C G Am G F
any other way.
Verse 2:
C G Am
Well they take away my freedom of expression and action, but Johnny says I
G F
walk the line.
C G Am G F
With three hots and a cot, and allot of talk that locks up concrete and steel
C G
Well it's cold and it's clammy, and it's colder than a pimp's heart, but I've
Am G F
gotta do my time.
C G Am
There's a lesson to be learned here, but what a price to pay, you know, I may
G F
never learn.
