The Prison
By Melissa Etheridge
From the Album "Skin"
Throughout this song,
you won't take your pinky off the third fret of the high-E string.
The chord names I put above the tablature are the names of the chords
if the pinky was not on the third fret of the high E-string.

C Fmaj7
I have stood inside this prison
C Fmaj7
I have touched its stony walls
C Am
I know before you try to run
Am G
You gotta learn to crawl
C Fmaj7
I tried to leave it all behind me
C Fmaj7
I drove all night, just to drive all day
C Am
But the walls of this prison still surround me
Fmaj7 G Am
And I can't break away
