After Ides of April (see last track on this record), when I went back. This one's for Roger Parker, who saved my ass and my family at the last minute...

JAILHOUSE ROCK
B & A chords on the verses is the location for a sus4 stones riff (you’ll hear it)
The F# has its own riff pattern too
B
I swore I was letting you down
A F#
You didn’t notice so I’m back in town
B
my pockets wrung inside out
A F#
got my face in the loveable pout
B
I climbed a mountain it seemed
A F#
But now I’m down with the casual jeans
E
So yeah I’m back again
F#
Again I’m back again
A B
and I’m bothered so don’t bother me
E
they made the walls vanilla
F#
it’s makin me a killa
A B
gotta split before they add the whip cream
B
Got the ship full of ladies in drag
A F#
All flying their own black and white flags
B
Not goin down to New Orleans
A F#
Or F-L-A, where they get them high winds
E
Oh yeah I’m back again
F#
It’s me I’m back again
A B
Yes, I’m making my own misery
E
they made the ceilings higher
F#
the guards are set to fire
A B
and their radios are talking to me!!
G#7 E
I been lazy with my life
B
And I’m payin it down
A E
Watching it burn to ground
A E B
So damn lazy with this li –i –i –i ife
A E
Verse
(I verse thru -- Instr with leads)
Verse
B
Number 6 says to number 43
A F#
Then they both say it to me:
B
Hey man I thought they let you go free
A F#
What did you do? Go and lose the key?
E-
I’m back in solitary
F#
They saved my cell for me
A B
-sorry I’m spoken for, don’t talk to me
E
they made the walls vanilla
F#
it’s makin me a killa
A B
gotta split before they’re inking my dreams
G#7 E
I been lazy with my life
B
And I’m payin it down
A E
Watching it burn to ground
A E B
So damn lazy with this li –i –i –i ife
