Johnny Cash — I Got Stripes

C G C
On a Monday, I was arrested. On a Tuesday, 
they locked me in the jail. On a
G
Wednesday, my trial was attested. On a Thursday 
they said guilty and the
C G
judge's gavel fell, I got stripes, stripes 
around my shoulders. I got chains,
C G
chains around my feet. I got stripes, 
stripes around my shoulders, and them
C
chains them chains are about to drag me down.
 
On a Monday, my mama come to see me. On a Tuesday, 
they caught me with a vial.
On a Wednesday, I'm down in solitary. On a Thursday, 
I start on bread
and water for a while. I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders.
I got chains,
chains around my feet. I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders,
and them chains
them chains are about to drag me down. I got stripes,
stripes around my shoulders.
I got chains, chains around my feet. I got stripes,
stripes around my shoulders, and
them chains them chains they're about to drag me down.
