A There's a lot of strange men in cell block ten E7 But the strangest of them all D A Was a friend of mine who spent his time D A Staring at the wall D A Staring at the wall In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote Proving crime don't pay Was the very same gal he robbed and stole for Namin' their wedding day Namin' their wedding day Chorus: D As he looked at the wall A So strong and tall D A I heard him softly curse D A Nobody at all ever climbed that wall D A But I'm going to be the first D A I'm going to be the first Then the warden walked by and said son don't try I'd hate to see you fall Because there is no doubt they'll carry you out If you ever touch that wall If you ever touch that wall Chorus: Well there's never been a man Who shook this camp But I knew a man who tried The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan But I know it was suicide I know it was suicide | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  E7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
