I Got Stripes 

I Got Stripes     
by Johnny Cash
 
G                   D7
On A Monday I Was arrested (Uh Huh)
                                   G
On A Tuesday They Locked Me In The Jail (Oh Boy)
                           D7
On A Wednesday My Trial Was Attested
                                                     G
On A Thursday They Said Guilty And The Judge's Gavel Fell
 
                        Am        D7
I Got Stripes   Stripes Around My Shoulders
                                 G
I Got Chains    Chains Around My Feet
                       Am        D7
I Got Stripes  Stripes Around My Shoulders
                                                       G
And Them Chains   Them Chains They're About To Drag Me Down
 
                             D7
On A Monday My Momma Come To See Me
                                   G
On A Tuesday They Caught Me With A File
                          Am    D7
On A Wednesday I'm Down In Soli-tary
                                               G
On A Thursday I Start On Bread And Water For A While
 
                         Am       D7
I Got Stripes   Stripes Around My Shoulders
                                 G
I Got Chains    Chains Around My Feet
                       Am        D7
I Got Stripes  Stripes Around My Shoulders
                                                       G
And Them Chains   Them Chains They're About To Drag Me Down
    
                       Am       D7
I Got Stripes   Stripes Around My Shoulders
                                 G
I Got Chains    Chains Around My Feet
                       Am        D7
I Got Stripes  Stripes Around My Shoulders
                                                       G
And Them Chains   Them Chains They're About To Drag Me Down
