When I was a young boy, I went out on my own
D5         C5                 G5               D5 *
I got into trouble, I didn't know right from wrong
G5                  C5        D5 *
I've got this prison for my home.

I got off a train in Memphis, I didn't know the town
D5             C5              G5          D5 *   
I met a pretty young girl, to show me around
G5           C5         D5 *    
To show me around the town.

She said I know where, there's a light upon me

It's in the Memphis bank, come and rob it with me
G5                  C5                       D5 *
I shot the guard, now they're coming after me.

If I had my life to live over, I'd be a better man
D5                      C5                G5             D5 *
I wouldn't get into the trouble, and I'd try to understand
G5                    C5               D5 *
I wouldn't have this prison for my home.
G5                C5            D5 *
These four gray walls for my home
