Verse 1
G 
Deep inside this lonely prison,
D 
where the pleasures are so few
Where the walls are strong,
the nights are long,
G 
and there's nothing new
Em 
G 
Well I learned to play the guitar,
C 
and I'm doing the best I can
G 
I guess it couldn't be worse,
D 
G 
because I made the prison band
D 
G 
D 
G 
Yes, I made the prison band
D 
There's a bashful Bobby
on the doghouse bass
C 
G 
Willie's on the steel guitar
He hails from Pocatello
D 
And he drags a pretty mean boss
G 
Back on the drums,
that's a two -time top
C 
He's a rim -shot tempo man
The boys call me,
G 
they're singin' and singin'
D 
G 
Says I made the prison band
D 
G

G 
I've been plannin' to break since Christmas
D 
I had the details all worked out
But now I know that I ain't gonna go
G 
and there's no doubt
Cause I had my try on Sunday,
C 
and the outcome changed my plan
G 
I gotta rehearse for the Fri
day night show,
D 
G 
cause I made the prison band
D 
G 
Yes, I made the prison band
D 
Now there's a sort of bashful
Bobby on the doghouse bass
C 
G 
Billy's on a steel guitar
He hails from Pocatello,
D 
and he drives a birdie mean bar
G 
And back on the drums at the two -time time,
C 
a rim -shot tempo man
G 
Boys call me the singin' emcee,
D 
G 
I made the prison band
D 
G 
Since I made the prison band,
D 
G 
yes I made the prison band
D 
I made the prison bed
