• Capo on 1st

Key: 'A'

Intro:
 A

 A            E       A
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me
             D        A
You've blistered me since nineteen sixty three
   D                   A
I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die
        E       A
And long ago I stopped askin' why

          E       A
San Quentin
I hate every inch of you
           D            A
You've cut me and you scarred me through and through
  D              A
And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man
          E       A
Mister Congressman you can't understand

(A E A E
(A D A E A)

            E        A
San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
           D           A
Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
  D                   A
You bend my heart and mind and you warp my soul
               E       A
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold

           E        A
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell
                   E
May your walls fall and may I live to tell
  A               D
May all the world forget you ever stood
    A        E       A
And may all the world regret you did no good
          E       A  E A
San Quentin
I hate every inch of you
