D Well Johnson Van Dyke Grigsby was paroled in '89 G D He never walked on a carpet never tasted dinner wine A G His old eyes were slowly fadin' as he walked out of the gate D A D And he breathed the first free air he'd breathed since 19-0-8 Chorus: G Howdy do Michigan City you're sure pretty sight D But I know there's bigger cities and more excitin' nights G But I think your girls're pretty and I love your children too D Michigan City Indiana howdy do Michigan City Indiana howdy do A D Michigan City Indiana howdy do Filled with the joy of freedom he didn't know that he was old Because time don't really matter when it's bubbling in your soul Well I don't think he was bitter because he sure had a smile And down the streets of Michigan city he walked his first free miles Chorus | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA D G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
