Verse 1
D 
A 
G 
D 
 (D major) I  live  (A major)  (G major)  (D major) in a cold, world, all by myself
I wear the sun, don't ever shine
And it's a low -down place,
A 
D 
 (A major) I mean a mean  (D major) disgrace
The way you've got me doing time
G 
You've got to  (G major) break these
Gm 
lonely  (G minor) chains I'm in
G 
Gm 
I swear  (G major) by stars  (G minor) above
I'd rather do 90 years
G 
on a hard rock pile  (G major) 
A 
Than to  (A major) have to do without your love
D 
I'm in a  (D major) poor man's prison, baby
It's been a hard, long, lonesome time
But darling, can't you see
that you can set me free
A 
Because your  (A major) loving doesn't
D 
out of my mind  (D major) 
Maybe there's four stone
A 
D 
walls  (A major) around  (D major) me
And a cold flower under my head
You know at night I weep, I just can't sleep
I guess I might as well be dead
G 
You know it's  (G major) such a drag without you,
baby
I'm staying here all alone
Gm 
And I just can't take it too much  (G minor) longer
A 
Baby,  (A major) won't you come back home?
D 
 (D major) I'm in a poor man's prison, baby
It's been a hard, long, lonesome time
But darling, can't you see
that you can set me free?
A 
Cause your  (A major) lovin' drives me out
D 
G 
Gm 
G 
of my mind  (D major)  (G major)  (G minor)  (G major) 
I'd rather do 90 years on a hard rock car
A 
Than to  (A major) have to do without your love
G 
D 
I'm  (G major) in  (D major) a poor man's prison, baby
