San Quentin Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]San Quentin,
you've been livin' hell to me.
You've hosted me since
nineteen sixty three
I've seen 'em come and go and
I've seen 'em die
And long ago I stopped askin' why

[Verse 2]
San [G]Quentin, I [D]hate every inch of you.
You've cut [G]me and have scarred
me through and [C]thru.
And I'll walk out a wiser
[G]weaker [C]man;
Miter Congressman [G]why
[D]can't you understand.
[G]

[Verse 3]
San Quentin,
what good [D]do [G]you think you do?
Do you think I'll [C]be [G]different
when [C]you're through?
You bent my [G]heart [D]and min[G]d[D][G][C][G]
[C][G][D][G]
and [D]you [G]may my soul;
[C]And [G]you[C] stone walls turn my
[G]blood a little cold
[D][G]

[Verse 4]
San Quentin,
may you [D]rot and burn in hell.
May your walls [G]fall [C]down
and may I [G]live to tell.
[C]May all the world forget you ever [G]stood.
Ans may all the world regret
[D]you did no [G]good.

[Verse 5]
[G]
San Quentin, you've [D]been livin' hell to me.
[G]
