Soul Of A Convict chords by 
Porter Wagoner

Verse 1
A
D
A
G
D
(Will he take the soul of a convict
A
D
G
could I be one of those he choosed)
I was taught the Bible from childhood at
D
A
D
my mother's knee I learned to pray
A
I was taught of God and all his goodness
and the devil and his evil ways
D
A
G
D
There's good in the bad and bad in the good and
G
D
there's none that's free from sin
G
But there's some questions
D
I've wondered about
What happens to the men
A
who die in the pen
D
Just imagine yourself the judge God Almighty
A
D
as you gaze over all these men
A
D
When death takes its toll what becomes
A
G
of the soul of the men who die in the pen
D
A
D
Do you think of God that's true and just
G
A
could look from his heavenly throne
And be pleased to see men placed in
C
D
chains and stripes
G
Bb
And tucked from their loved
G
ones at home
D
A
Worked until they're completely
D
A
axhuasted and your soul cries out in vain
D
Fed like a hog and treated like a dog and at night
to the bed you're chained
Worked from sunup to sundown
G
through all kinds of weather
D
And if you don't do the things just right
A
you get introduced to the leather
D
A
Now you see it's not the pain I mind so much
D
as I'm stretched out on the floor
It's just the thought that I can't do my
G
part that's what breaks my heart
D
You see I'm just not
man enough anymore
A
Oh there are a lotta other things I could tell
D
you that you'd marvel at and say
A
D
Why I didn't know in those modern times they treated
A
G
men that way but they do
That's why I ask you do you think that God
could turn with a sneer and frown
D
At the men who die in the pen do
A
you think he'll turn us down
D
I believe there's a heaven and a hell
G
and in God I put my trust
D
A
D
That's why I'm askin' these ques
A
tions I believe he's true and just
And I just imagine he'll tell me as we meet
D
at the golden stairs
Bm
Hell's not just meant for some of
D
G
D
the men who die in the pen
G
But for some who have mistreated
D
A
D
them there
A
You see we're payin' for the mistakes
we made in our sins
D
As we've had our troubles in life
A
G
A
D
Because we're the underdogs of humanity
G
D
and surely God won't make us pay twice
A
D
I believe on that Day of Judgement he'll
A
have this convict called in
D
And he'll say it's true hell's not for you
you had your hell in the pen
G

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon

“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
