Graham Nash - Prison Songadd

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

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

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

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

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