Biography:
It takes a certain type of musician to hop freight trains and barrel across the vastness of North America with his brother and cousin. Especially for an artist who, just years before, sold out Madison Square Garden for three consecutive nights. CHAD “CHADWICK” STOKES is anything but a typical rock star.

Prison Blue Eyes- Chadwick Stokes
Sounds kind of like this to me
[Verse]
E
I've got to go downtown
E A
I'll miss you along the way
E C#
I'll miss your stripes, your Lilly whites
C# B
That have turned dirty grey
E
I've got to pay that bus
E A
I've got to make that fare
E C#
I miss the kiss of your crooked teeth
C# B
Miss your pixie hair
[Chorus]
A E
Cause I hate to see you suffering
B A E C# C# G# A
Don’t ever want your prison blue eyes to be sad not once
E B A
I know its not how it goes
E B A
But this worrying was undersold
E
Im gonna go down East
E A
Walk down Elliot Street
E C#
Wave to the murals with my little girl
C# B
Watch the cracks in the concrete
E
I feel the rain outside
E A
I hear the bell strike late
E C#
Is that you I hear coming off the street
C# B
Or just the wind blowing the gate?
[Chorus]
A E
Cause I hate to see you suffering
B A E C# G# A
Don’t ever want your prison blue eyes to be sad not once
E B A
I know its not how it goes
E B A
But this worrying was undersold
[Verse]
Whistling
[Chorus]
A E
Cause I hate to see you suffering
B A E C# G# A
Don’t ever want your prison blue eyes to be sad not once
E B A
I know its not how it goes
E B A
But this worrying was undersold
