Capo: 1

I Got Stripes by Johnny Cash (as done on the Folsom Prison & San Quentin CD) CAPO 1 -- to match the recording I have (Cash sometimes played the same song up or down half step on different recordings)

On a Mo^Cnday, I was arre^Gsted. On a Tuesday, they locked me in the j^Cail. On a Wednesday, my trial was atte^Gsted. On a Thursday they said guilty and the judge's gavel f^Cell.

I got stripes, stripes around my s^Ghoulders. I got chains, chains around my f^Ceet. I got stripes, stripes around my sh^Goulders, C D (quick to D) and them chains them chains They're about to drag me down.

On^D a Monday, my mama come to see me. On a Tuesday, they caught me with a vial. On a Wednesday, I'm down in ^Asolitary. On a Thursday, I start on bread and water for a^D while.

I got stripes, stripes around my s^Ahoulders. I got chains, chains around my f^Deet. I got stripes, stripes around my sh^Aoulders, and them chains them chains are about to drag me ^Ddown.
