30 Days in the Pictou Count Jail
DON HAGGART

E               A             E
The locked me away inside a little institution
    A                   B7             E    B7
Where broken hearts and minds were all I seen
E             A             E
There I sat alone until my sister came to see me
   A                B7             E
She brought me cigarettes and magazines

B7                              E
30 Days in the Pictou Country Jail

E                   A       E
I got to know the preacher who came by on the weekend
   A                   B7             E   B7
He talked with me and prayed with me a while
E                A                E
He would ask the Lord to bless and keep me out of trouble
   A             B7             E
The pain upon my face began to smile

B7                            E
30 Days in the Pictou County Jail

E                   A          E
A                     B7             E   B7
E                   A               E
   A                   B7             E

E                         A                  E
When night would come I’d think of home and how’d I like to be there
A          B7            E B7
Oh the lady that I left behind
E                A          E
She was waiting patiently baking pies and weeping
A                   B7             E   
The greatest gal that I could ever find

B7                            E
30 days in the Pictou county jail
B7                            E
30 days in the Pictou county jail

B7                            E
30 days in the Pictou county jail
