Graham Nash - Prison Songadd

          Em
One day a friend took me aside
                     Am
and said, "I have to leave you.
           Em
For buying something from a friend
                     Bm      B7
They say I have done wrong.
       Em
For protecting the name of a man
                      Am7
they say I'll have to leave you.
           Em              Bm                Am7    Em
So now I'm bidding you farewell for much too long.

             Em                     Am7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
          Em                         Bm     B7
If he can hear you sing it's an open door.
              Em                          Am7
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
            Em                Bm                 Am7    Em
and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.

Em9          Dm76         Em9              Bm       B7
Kids in Texas, smoking grass, ten year sentence, comes to pass.
Em9       Dm76        Em9          Bm       B7
Misdemeanor in Ann Arbor, ask the judges why?

        Em
Another friend said to her kids
                  Am
I'm gonna have to leave you
            Em
For selling something to the man
              Bm     B7
I guess I did wrong.
               Em
And although I did the best I could
                  Am7
I'm gonna have to leave you.
           Em              Bm          Am7    Em
So now I'm kissing you farewell for much too long.

             Em                     Am7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
          Em                         Bm     B7

              Em                          Am7
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
            Em                Bm      Am7    Em7
and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.
