[Verse 1]
[Asus2]Breaking up big ro[Am]ck
[Asus2]s on a chai[Am]n gang[Asus2]
Breaking rocks and saving
[Am]my time[Asus2]
Break[Am]in' rocks out here
[Asus2]on a chain gang
[E]Cause I've been convicted of a crime
[Am]Hold [Asus2]it steady[Am] rig[Asus2]ht[Am]
there while I hit it
[Asus2]Well, I r[Am]eckon that ought to get it
[Asus2]I've been[Am] workin' and work[D]in',
[F]but I still got so terrible [Dm]long [Am]to go[F].
[Bb]Heard the judge say five years hard labor,
on the chain gang you're gonna go.
Heard the judge say five
years hard labor
[F]Heard my woman scream,
Lord, he knows
[Bb]Hold it steady right there while I hit it
Great
God
Almighty, that ought to get it
I've [Gb]been working
[Bb]Lord knows I'm [Eb]working
But [B#]I still got [F]so terrible long [Bb]to go[Bbm]
Wanna [Db]see [Gb]my sweet honey baby
[F]Wanna bre[Ebm]ak this chain off[Gb] and[Db] run[B]
[Bb]Want to [Ab]lay down somewhere shady[Gb]
[F]Lord, it sure is hot in this sun
[Bb]Hold it steady right there while I get it
I've been working,
Lord knows I'm [Eb]working,
but [E]I've [F]got so terrible long [Bb]to go.[Bbm][Bb]
But [Gb]I still got so [F]terrible long to go.
Oh
[Eb][F][Bb]
