Graham Nash - Prison Songadd

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

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

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

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

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

              D#m                          G#m7

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