Shackles and chains
[G]On a long lonesome journey I'm [C]going [Am optional]
Oh [D]darling now please don't you [G]cry
For in shackles and chains they will [C]take me [Am optional]
To a [D]prison to stay till I [G]die
Cho: [G]And a night through the bars I will [C]gaze at the [Am]stars
And [D]long for your kisses in [G]vain
A piece of stone I will use for my [C]pillow [Am optional]
While I'm [D]sleeping in shackles and [G]chains
Put your arms through the bars once my little darling
Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best
For in heartaches you're my consolation
And in sorrow my haven of rest
