The Warden Chords

(ver. 1)
Old Crow Medicine Show
[Intro]
D A D D
 
[Verse 1]
D                 D           G              D
The warden stands tall as he walks down the hall
D            D            A      A
Puts all our lives on the shelf
D           D       G       D
Holding the keys to our miseries
D           A             D     D
How does he live with himself?
 
[Chorus]
G            G      D        D
How does the warden sleep at night
D         D          A         A
After the long day's through?
        D        D              G           D
Does he toss and turn, does his conscience burn?
D       A        D     D
Is he a prisoner too?
 
D  D  G  D  D  A  D  D
 
[Verse 2]
D            D           G          D
Down in this pen full of sorrow and sin
D           D            A       A
Do the days weigh on his chest?
         D           D
When the warden goes home
       G             D
To his house made of stone
D           A       D      D
How does he get any rest?
 
[Chorus]
G            G      D        D
How does the warden sleep at night
D         D          A         A
After the long day's through?
        D        D              G          D
Does he toss and turn, does his conscience burn?
D       A        D     D
Is he a prisoner too?
 
[Bridge]
   G       G      D       D
Oh warden   , hey warden
D          A              D    D
Are you so different than me?
 
    G       G      D       D
Hey warden   , hey warden
D            A          D      D
What does it mean to be free?
 
D D G D D D A A
D D G D D A D D
 
[Verse 3]
  D                D       G           D
I look through the bars to look at the stars
    D             D          A      A
And we're all the same so it seems
    D         D    G         D
And just like me I wonder if he
    D         A            D       D
Can ever find peace in his dreams
 
[Chorus]
G            G      D        D
How does the warden sleep at night
D         D          A         A
After the long day's through?
        D        D              G          D
Does he toss and turn, does his conscience burn?
D       A        D     D
Is he a prisoner too?
 
[Outro]
D D G D
 
D         A        D
Are you a prisoner too?
