The Prison
By Melissa Etheridge
From the Album "Skin"
Throughout this song,
you won't take your pinky off the third fret of the high-E string.
The chord names I put above the tablature are the names of the chords
if the pinky was not on the third fret of the high E-string.

CI have stood inside this Fmaj7prison
CI have touched its stony Fmaj7walls
CI know before you try to Amrun

CI tried to leave it all beFmaj7hind me
CI drove all night, just to drive allFmaj7 day
CBut the walls of this prison still surrAmound me
AnFmaj7d I G can't break aAmway
