Graham Nash - Prison Songadd

          A#m
One day a friend took me aside
                     D#m
and said, "I have to leave you.
           A#m
For buying something from a friend
                     Fm      F7
They say I have done wrong.
       A#m
For protecting the name of a man
                      D#m7
they say I'll have to leave you.
           A#m              Fm                D#m7    A#m
So now I'm bidding you farewell for much too long.

             A#m                     D#m7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
          A#m                         Fm     F7
If he can hear you sing it's an open door.
              A#m                          D#m7
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
            A#m                Fm                 D#m7    A#m
and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.

A#m9          Dm76         A#m9              Fm       F7
Kids in Texas, smoking grass, ten year sentence, comes to pass.
A#m9       Dm76        A#m9          Fm       F7
Misdemeanor in Ann Arbor, ask the judges why?

        A#m
Another friend said to her kids
                  D#m
I'm gonna have to leave you
            A#m
For selling something to the man
              Fm     F7
I guess I did wrong.
               A#m
And although I did the best I could
                  D#m7
I'm gonna have to leave you.
           A#m              Fm          D#m7    A#m
So now I'm kissing you farewell for much too long.

             A#m                     D#m7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
