All of the prisoners serving life sentences
Am Cmaj7 Dm7 E
Wait for the earth to suddenly shake
F Am E E7/G#
For the walls to somehow suddenly come crumbling, tumbling and
F Am E E7/G#
For the bars to somehow magically break
Am Cmaj7
Aw, There's nothing wrong with them
Dm7 F
That a thousand bucks can't fix
Am Cmaj7 Dm7 E
That a thousand arms can't hold do - own
F Cmaj7 E E7/G#
In the ground they're tattooing the stones with

Someday I will remem - ber
