Theres a lot of strange men in cell block ten, but the strangest of them all
      D                  A              D              A
Was a friend of mine who spent his time staring at the wall
E       D      A
Staring at the wall
                                          D                  A
In his hand was a note his gal had wrote, proven crime don't pay
        D                A                      D                 A
Was the very same gal he robbed and stole for, upon thier wedding day
E    D             A
Upon their wedding day


A                                                      D               A
As he stared at that wall so strong and tall you could hear him softly curse
  D                A                      D                A
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall, but I'm gonna be the first
E                     A
Yeah I'm gonna be the first
                                                  D               A
The warden walked by and said "Son don't try, I'd hate to see you fall
          D                   A                    D               A
For there is no doubt they'll carry you out if you ever touch that wall"
        E    D          A            
"If you ever touch that wall"


A                                              D             A
Well a years gone by since he made his try but I can still recall
    D                     A                  D               A
How hard he tried and the way he died but he never made that wall
E        D         A
He never made that wall
                                                D                A
Theres never been a man ever shook this can but I know a man who tried
D                      A                   D             A
Newspapers called it a jail break plan but I know it was suicide
E         D   A
I know it was suicide
