Born In A Prison chords by John Lennon

C Cm G  A

    C         Cm
We're born in a prision, raised in a prision
 C            C7
Send to a prision called school,
  F          Fm
We cry in a prision, We love in a prision,
  C            D
We dream in a prision, like fools.
 E               C#m
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved,
A              B
reach for yourself and your battered mates.
E                 C#m
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken,
A                B
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate.

C  Cm  G  A

We live with no reason, kicked round for no reason,
Thrown out without reason like tools.
Work in a prison and hate in a prison
And die in a prison as a rule.
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved,
reach for yourself and your battered mates.
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken,
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate.


We live in a prison among judges and wardens
And wait for no reason or use
We laugh in a prision, go through all four seasons
And die with no vision or truth
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved,
reach for yourself and your battered mates.
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken,
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate.
