First try at a chords/tabs. Please help me correct any mistakes. I watched him play this 
a live version on youtube, he played capo 2nd fret. His cords are a little spicier I 
too. Email ice_dude33@yahoo.com

	   A 		    D
There?s a prison on route 41
	    A                         E
Home to my father, first cousin, and son
      A		       D
And I visit every weekend
	    A              E             A
Not with my body but with prayers that I send


	A		   D
I?ve a reason for my absentee
		A	            E
And no lack of love for my dear family
	A		        D
But my savior is not Christ the Lord
                 A            E            A
But one named Virginia whom I live my life for


E     	                A
And if I don?t mind to her
    D		 A	       E
I?d rot in that prison for sure
		     A
Yeah, she?d toss me aside
        D      	A       E
And I?d surely wait to die


    A                    D
By decree, law of the land
	     A			        E
So unlike my uncle, grandpa, and great aunt
   	 A                      D
Whom I?d most likely see every day
		A		 E          A
If not for the righteous ????? Virginia?s way


	  A 		    D
There?s a prison on route 41
	    A                        E
Home to my mother, stepbrother, and son
	 A		           D
And I?d tear down that jail by myself
	       A	      E          A
If not for Virginia who made me someone else


E               A
And I owe it to her
    D		 A	     E
I?d rot in that prison for sure
	              A
Yeah, she?d toss me aside
     D		 A      E
And show me the way to die

	A		    D
By the precepts of her purity
	       A			E
So unlike the habits of my whole family
 	A			 D
Whom I only see down on my knees
	      A                E          A
In prayer by Virginia whom I live for to please
