Graham Nash - Prison Songadd

          Dm
One day a friend took me aside
                     Gm
and said, "I have to leave you.
           Dm
For buying something from a friend
                     Am      A7
They say I have done wrong.
       Dm
For protecting the name of a man
                      Gm7
they say I'll have to leave you.
           Dm              Am                Gm7    Dm
So now I'm bidding you farewell for much too long.

             Dm                     Gm7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
          Dm                         Am     A7
If he can hear you sing it's an open door.
              Dm                          Gm7
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
            Dm                Am                 Gm7    Dm
and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.

Kids in Texas, smoking grass, ten year sentence, comes to pass.
Dm9       Dm76        Dm9          Am       A7
Misdemeanor in Ann Arbor, ask the judges why?

        Dm
Another friend said to her kids
                  Gm
I'm gonna have to leave you
            Dm
For selling something to the man
              Am     A7
I guess I did wrong.
               Dm
And although I did the best I could
                  Gm7
I'm gonna have to leave you.
           Dm              Am          Gm7    Dm
So now I'm kissing you farewell for much too long.

             Dm                     Gm7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
          Dm                         Am     A7
If he can hear you sing it's an open door.
              Dm                          Gm7
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
            Dm                Am      Gm7    Dm7
and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.
