Graham Nash - Prison Songadd

          Bm
One day a friend took me aside
                     Em
and said, "I have to leave you.
           Bm
For buying something from a friend
                     F#m      F#7
They say I have done wrong.
       Bm
For protecting the name of a man
                      Em7
they say I'll have to leave you.
           Bm              F#m                Em7    Bm
So now I'm bidding you farewell for much too long.

             Bm                     Em7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
          Bm                         F#m     F#7
If he can hear you sing it's an open door.
              Bm                          Em7
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
            Bm                F#m                 Em7    Bm
and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.

Bm9          Dm76         Bm9              F#m       F#7
Kids in Texas, smoking grass, ten year sentence, comes to pass.
Bm9       Dm76        Bm9          F#m       F#7
Misdemeanor in Ann Arbor, ask the judges why?

        Bm
Another friend said to her kids
                  Em
I'm gonna have to leave you
            Bm
For selling something to the man
              F#m     F#7
I guess I did wrong.
               Bm
And although I did the best I could
                  Em7
I'm gonna have to leave you.
           Bm              F#m          Em7    Bm
So now I'm kissing you farewell for much too long.

             Bm                     Em7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
          Bm                         F#m     F#7
If he can hear you sing it's an open door.
              Bm                          Em7
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
            Bm                F#m      Em7    Bm7
and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.
