[Verse 1]
G5
My first day out it rained,
Eb5
eight years on a chain
      G5
For a crime that wasn't mine,
          Eb5
I did the time
       G5
As the door swung shut behind me,
Eb5
I was left so lonely
         G5
No one remembered, no one was there
        Eb5
To hear my please to hear my prayers

    G5
Not a dollar to my name,
  Eb5
I suppose I can't complain
   G5
My life again was mine and
            Eb5
that's just fine
     G5
As I knocked on my mother's door,
    Eb5
she didn't live there anymore
       G5
Second mortgage to fund
                    Eb5
appeals that got no deal
