Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
(D major) Oh, the age of the inmates
I remem (G major) ber quite freely (D major)
No younger than twelve,
no older than seventeen (A major)
Thrown (D major) in like bandits,
(G major) cast off like crim (D major) inals
Inside (G major) the grounds, (D major)
round the (A major) walls, a red wing (D major)
From the dirty old mess hall,
you (G major) march to a brick (A major) wall. (D major)
Too weary to talk and too tired to sing. (A major)
Oh, it's (D major) all afternoon,
you remem (G major) ber (D major) (A major) (D major)
Inside (G major) the grounds (D major)
round the (A major) walls of Red (D major) Queen
Oh the gates are cast iron
and the walls (G major) are barbed wire (D major)
Stay far from the fence
with electricity stained (A major) (D major) (A major)
And it's (D major) keep down your head
and (G major) stay in your num (D major) ber
On the (G major) inside ground (D major) s,
round the (A major) walls of Red Wing (D major)
Oh, it's fare thee well to the
deep (G major) hollow dungeon (D major)
Farewell to the boardwalk
that takes you (A major) to (D major) the screen (A major)
And farewell to (D major) the minutes
that threaten (G major) you with (D major) it
Inside (G major) the ground (D major) s,
round the (A major) walls of Red Wing (D major) (A major) (D major)
It's Minnie a guard
that stands (G major) around smil (D major) in'
Holdin' his club like he was a king (A major)
Hop (D major) in' to get you behind
(G major) the woodpiling (D major)
Inside (G major) the (D major) grounds
round the (A major) wall's red wing (D major) (A major) (D major)
The night aimed shadows
through the (G major) crossbar win (D major) dows
And the wind punched hard
to make the wall siding sing (A major)
It's many (D major) a night I preten
(G major) ded to be sleep (D major) in'
On the (G major) inside ground (D major) s,
round the (A major) Walsh Redway
(D major) As the rain rattled heavy
on the (G major) bunkhouse shingles (D major)
And the sounds in the night
that make my ears ring (A major)
Tell the (D major) keys of the guards,
click (G major) the tune of the morn (D major) in'
On the (G major) inside ground (D major) s,
round the (A major) walls of Red Wing (D major)
All some of us will end up
in (G major) St. Cloud Prison (D major)
And some of us will wind up
to be lawyers and thing (A major) s
And some (D major) of us will stand
to meet you (G major) on your cross (D major) roads
From (G major) inside the grounds (D major)
around the (A major) walls of Red Wing (D major)
From inside (G major) the grounds (D major)
around the (A major) walls of Red (D major) Wing
(A major) (D major)
