The (D) folks sing songs about (G) prison, coal mines and (D) war, I got a story in a song Id like to (A) tell For (D) a long time (G) now I been (D) sowing And that long bad trip (A) I will be (D) going
And Long Chain (G) Charlie gonna take me back to (D) Moundsville
A lot of new (G) faces, I (D) see But very few recognize (A) me So (D) many dreams in life (G) I cant (D) fulfill, What Id give now just to be (A) free But death row calls (G) me in thirty-(D) three
And Long Chain Charlie (G) put me off last night in (D) Moundsville

Now my mind (G) does wander (D) back, To my mama in a tumble-down (A) shack Those (D) dreadful days, mama (G) taught us to (D) pray But each time in my cell I (A) cry Salvation (D) has (G) passed me (D) by And I will never more (G) ride that Long Chain Charlie to (D)Moundsville
The priest just (G) left my (D) cell He told me about heaven and (A) hell Told (D) me about a way of (G) life I could be (D) free But I will never be free no-(A) more Death (D) row calls (G) me in thirty-(D) four I just want to forget about That (D) Long Chain (G) Charlie, and (D) Moundsville
I (D) just want to forget (G) about Long Chain Charlie, and (D) Moundsville
