G There's a lot of strange men in cell block ten but the strangest of them all was a
C friend of mine who G spent his time
C staring at the G wall. C Staring at the G wall
C As he looked at that wall so G strong and tall you could
C hear him softly G curse no-C-body at all ever G climbed that wall but
C i'm gonna be the G first. Yeah C I'm gonna be the G first
G The warden walked by and said son don't try I'd hate to see you fall. For there
C is no doubt they'll G carry you out if you
C ever touch that G wall . If you C ever touch that G wall.
G Well a year's gone by since he made his try , but I can still recall... how
C hard he tried and the G way he died but he
C never made that G wall. He C never made that G wall. There's
C never been a man ever G shook this can but
C I know a man who G tried. The
C newspapers called it a G jail break plan but I
C know it was sui-G-cide I C know it was sui-G-cide
