SHACKLES AND CHAINS
(Jimmie Davis)

G C
On a long, lonesome journey I'm going
D7 G
Now darling please don't you cry
C
For in shackles and chains they will take me
D7 G
To a prison to stay until I die.

(Chorus)
G
And at night through the bars
C
I will gaze at the stars
D7 G
And I long for your kisses in vain
C Am
A piece of stone I will use for my pillow
D7 G
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains.

Put your arm through the bars once my darling
Let me kiss those sweet lips that I love best
For in heartaches you're my consolation
And in misery my haven of rest.
