IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW 
Words and music by Jimmie Rodgers
Recorded in C

Note :All verses and Chorus chorded the same.

INTRO:  Strum The "C"

VERSE ONE 
C
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob

Who used to steal, gamble and rob
                       C7             F
He thought he was the smartest guy in town

But I found out last Monday

That Bob got locked up Sunday
        D               D7                C
They've got him in the jailhouse way down town.

BRIDGE
G                     C                C7        F
He's in the jailhouse now..He's in the jailhouse now
   G                                                G7
I told him once or twice.To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
                      C
He's in the jailhouse now. 

(Yodel)
   F                     C
O'-lay-hee......O'-dee-o-lee-hee
         G                           C
Ah'-he-o-lay-hee....Te-da-de-de...O'-lay-hee


BRIDGE REPEAT INSTRUMENTALLY (NO YODEL)


VERSE TWO
He played a game called poker
He knuckled with Dan Yoakum
But shootin' dice was his greatest game
Now he's downtown in jail
Nobody to go his bail
The judge done said that he will pay the fine.

BRIDGE (WITH YODEL)

REPEAT BRIDGE INSTRUMENTALLY (NO YODEL)

VERSE THREE
I went out last Tuesday
Met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man around
We started to spend my money
Then she started to call me honey
We took in every cabaret in town.

BRIDGE 2
G                      C
We're in the jailhouse now
             C7        F
We're in the jailhouse now
  G
I told the judge right to his face
                  G7
We didn't like to see this place
                       C
We're in the jailhouse now. 
(Yodel)
   F                  C
O'-lay-hee...O'-dee-o-lee-hee
         G                         C
Ah'-he-o-lay-hee..Te-da-de-de...O'-lay-hee
