Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]The
Judge said, up, lad,
and dry up your [D]tears
You're sentenced to dart
more for 21 [G]years
So dry up your tears, babe,
and [Em]kiss me [Am]goodbye
The best friends must [D]part now,
so must you and [G]I
I hear the train coming,
t 'will be here at [D]night
To take me to
Dartmoor, to serve up my [G]time
I look down the railway,
and [Em]plainly I [Am]see
You're standing there [D]waving
your goodbye to [G]me
Six months have gone by,
babe, I wish I were [D]dead
This cold dreary dungeon and
a stone from my [G]head
It's raining, it's hailing,
the [Em]moon shows [Am]no light
Now will you tell [D]me, babe,
why you never [G]write?[Em][Am][D][G]
[Eb]I've counted the [Ab]days, babe,
I've counted the [Eb]nights
I've counted the footsteps,
I've counted the [Ab]lights
I've counted the raindrops,
I've [Fm]counted the [Bbm]stars
I've counted a [Eb]million of
these prison [Ab]bars
I've waited, I've trusted, I long for the [Eb]day
A lifetime so lonely,
now my hair's [Ab]turning grey
And my thoughts are for you,
babe, till I'm [Fm]out of my m[Bbm]ind
For 21 [Eb]years is a mighty long [Ab]time
[Fm]For [Bbm]twenty -one years[Eb]
is a mighty long [Ab]time.
