Graham Nash - Prison Songadd

          C#m
One day a friend took me aside
                     F#m
and said, "I have to leave you.
           C#m
For buying something from a friend
                     G#m      G#7
They say I have done wrong.
       C#m
For protecting the name of a man
                      F#m7
they say I'll have to leave you.
           C#m              G#m                F#m7    C#m
So now I'm bidding you farewell for much too long.

             C#m                     F#m7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
          C#m                         G#m     G#7
If he can hear you sing it's an open door.
              C#m                          F#m7
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
            C#m                G#m                 F#m7    C#m
and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.

C#m9          Dm76         C#m9              G#m       G#7
Kids in Texas, smoking grass, ten year sentence, comes to pass.
C#m9       Dm76        C#m9          G#m       G#7
Misdemeanor in Ann Arbor, ask the judges why?

        C#m
Another friend said to her kids
                  F#m
I'm gonna have to leave you
            C#m
For selling something to the man
              G#m     G#7
I guess I did wrong.
               C#m
And although I did the best I could
                  F#m7
I'm gonna have to leave you.
           C#m              G#m          F#m7    C#m
So now I'm kissing you farewell for much too long.

             C#m                     F#m7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
          C#m                         G#m     G#7

              C#m                          F#m7

            C#m                G#m      F#m7    C#m7
and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.
