Bobby Bare - Cincinnati Jail Chords

[Intro]
Em D G A   G
 
 
[Chorus]
     Em        D           G          A
It's cold as a well in the Cincinnati jail
D             G    C             D
I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody
 
 
[Verse 1]
G              C          D       G                    D7
Shouldn't have drunk that wine it messed up my country mind
    G                  C                 Am7      D
But I didn't know that pretty gal wasn't free not free
    G       C          D       G                D
And someone called the law and I had a southern drawl
    C                     D                   G
The first one they locked up you're right was me
 
 
[Chorus]
         Em        D           G          A
Now it's cold as a well in the Cincinnati jail
D             G    C             D
I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody
 
 
[Verse 2]
G       C      D7        G                 D
I heard a lot about that great mid western town
     G                  C            Am          D7
So I thought I'd better go and look around look around
G        C          D       G                  D
Couldn't find me no job and my kind just don't rob
    C                  D              G
But they don't want no southern bums around
 
 
[Chorus]
         Em        D           G          A
And it's cold as a well in the Cincinnati jail
D             G    C             D
I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody
 
 
[Verse 3]
        G   C       D   G                      C
Lord an Appalachian boy ain't never known much joy
          G                C                  Am7        D
But I was better off in my Blueridge Mountain home sweet home
G               C        D           G               D
I could see the light of day I could while the time away
       C                      D               G
On the mornin' the government gave me to live on
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
        Em        D           G          A
Oh it's cold as a well in the Cincinnati jail
D             G    C             D G
I ain't got nobody I ain't got nobody
