Traditional - In The Jailhouse Now Chords

IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW
Words and Music By Jimmie Rodgers

        C
Well, I had a freind called Ramblin' Bob.
            C
Who used to steal, gamble, and rob.
   C                  C7              F
He thought he was the smartest guy in town.
     Dm               A7                
But, I dound out last Monday,
     Dm                A7
That Bob got locked up Sunday.
     D7                                G7
They got him in the jailhouse way down town.


CHORUS:
                      C
He's in the jailhouse now.
            C7        F
He's in the jailhouse now.
  G7               
I told him once or twice,
   G7                 Gdim  G7
To quit playing cards and a-shootin' dice.
                      C
He's in the jailhouse now.


Well I went out last Tuesday.
I met a gal named Susie.
I told -er I was the swellest guy around.
We started to spend my money,
Then she started to call me "Honey".
We took in every Honky-tonk in town.

CHORUS
