C                      A7              D                G       C  
Nobody knows about the jailhouse blues till you get within four walls
    C                         A7              D                       G
The old jailerman turns those big black keys, that's when your spirit falls
    C                                F                  D7
You drag yourself up to the bars and while you gaze out at the stars
                    G
This is what you'll say

    C                        A7             D      G         C     
Hey why did I stray from the rightous path, nobody knows but me
C                        A7                D                      G 
There on the outside you all can laugh but I don't need your sympathy
    C                                               F                         D7  
For after I've paid for the liquor I've stole, I'll leave this place worth my weight in gold
   C                        A7             D      G         C
So why did I stray from the rightous path, nobody knows but me

When you realize that you're all alone seated in a two-by-four
That little cell is just a taste of hell if you ain't been there before
Well you're locked up tight but they treat you fair, you get everything that you need in there
That's just why you'll say

Chorus

Nobody knows but me
