Parole Board by Junior Brown
Parole Board
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C G D G
[Verse]
G C
For years I’ve paid, mistakes I’ve made,
G D G
A long, long time ago.
C G
And every year that I spend in here,
D
The parole board still says no.
G C
But I can’t live, when all they give
G D G
Are steel bars and stone.
C G
If that parole board won’t release me,
D G
I’m going to leave here on my own.
[Chorus]
D C G
That parole board only comes around to see me once a year.
A7 D A7 D
But this time one way or another I’ve got to get away from here.
C G Em C
Their walls can hold my body, but my life is mine alone.
C G
And I just might decide, some lonely night,
D G
To let the good lord take me home.
[Solo]
C G Em C
C G D G
[Verse]
G C
That parole board’s seen so much of me,
G D G
It’s just like we’re old friends.
C G
But if they’re not sure yet that I’ve paid my debt,
D
Then I’ll never ask them again.
G C
I hope they care to treat me fair.
G D G
My futures in their hands.
C G
But if they won’t agree to set me free,
D G
I’m going home the only way I can.
[Chorus]
D C G
That parole board only comes around to see me once a year.
A7 D A7 D
But this time one way or another I’ve got to get away from here.
C G Em C
Their walls can hold my body, but my life is mine alone.
C G
And I just might decide, some lonely night,
D G
To let the good lord take me home.
