San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me
                       F                    C
You've hosted me since nineteen sixty three
G                                               C
I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die
C              G                  C  
And long ago I stopped askin' why


    C               G                C   
San Quentin, I hate evry inch of you.
                       F                        C
You've cut me and have scarred me thru an' thru.
G                                    C
And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man;
C                      G                   C
Mister Congressman why can't you understand.

    C             G                        C
San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
                    F                              C
Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
    G                                          C
You bent my heart and mind and you may my soul,
         C                   G                   C   
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold.


    C                G                    C 
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.
                              F            C
May your walls fall and may I live to tell.
    G                                   C 
May all the world forget you ever stood.
        C             G                      C   
And may all the world regret you did no good.


    C                    G                C
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.
