| F#m | E | F#m | |
| Here I sit in prison, | guilty of a | crime |
| F#m | E | F#m | |
| Yes, it's true I killed a man, but | it was justi | fied |
| All verses are just this F#m-E-F#m pattern repeated. |
| Chorus: |
| A | F#m | D | E | F#m | |
| Yipee-I- | Yay, Yipee-I- | Yo, | damn these | iron bars are | cold |
| A | F#m | D | A | E | F#m | |
| Yipee-I- | Yay, Yipee-I- | Yo, | here | in | prison I'll grow | old |
