A# D# A# I've been in jail eleven years and parole has just come through, F The gates will soon swing open wide but I'm not going through. D# A# Jail's the only home I know or care to know about, F A# Please let me stay where I belong, please don't let me out.! How could I tell those friends of mine they've seen the last of me Can't I make you understand I never can be free Because that's a big unfriendly world and I don't know the route That leads to where I may belong please don't let me out I had to learn to get along without a lot of things And I had to learn to live with the loneliness confinement brings And I learnt to take no mail from home or whatever came about Now I'm dug in and I'm happy here please don't let me out Yes, that's a big unfriendly world and I don't know the route That leads to where I may belong, please don't let me out You can simplify chords by removing barre
