SIm LA SIm
I'm sitting here in my empty cell,
SIm RE SIm
it's dark and drab and damp.
SOL FA#m MIm
They throw me crusts to eat
MIm SIm
Drink water from the well.
SIm LA SIm
I was playing my part in this dreadful war
SIm RE SIm
when someone ran me through:
RE MIm
They bound me up in chains,
RE SIm LA
and that's the last I knew.
LA SIm
The guards are watching day and night
SOL FA#m MI
and they observe each move I make
SOL FA#m SIm
I wonder if they'll let me out alive -
SOL LA SIm
I know there's no way to escape
LA SIm
I know the feeling of dejection:
SOL FA#m SIm SOL
To be imprisoned for no crime
SOL FA#m SIm
So God please take me out of here
SOL LA SIm
You are my one hope at this time.
MI FA#m
Why are those people shouting?
MI FA#m
Is the battle lost or won?
LA SOL#m DO#m
Now the footsteps of the guards -
SOL#m FA#m MI FA#m
will my chains be tightened or undone?
