Bars Of The County Jail Chords

(ver. 1)
David Bowie
[Intro]
A         E      D     A
La, la la la la, la la la
A         E      D     A
La, la la la la, la la la
 
[Verse 1]
A          E       D      A
Gather you all and listen here
      A         E           D          A
I'll tell you a tale if you lend me an ear
A         E            D       A
I rode a horse through many a-town
A       E             D           A
But the devil rode me down to the ground
D                E
I was to marry a very rich girl,
  A                   D
I loved her as only I can
        D                       E
But the father was shot and his gold was stoled
    B               E7
And now I'm Devil's man na na na
    A     E      D       A
And now I sing a tale of woe
A           E           D      A
Through the bars of the county jail
A         N.C.
La la la la la, la la la la la
 
[Chorus]
A         E      D     A
La, la la la la, la la la
A         E      D     A
La, la la la la, la la la
A         E      D     A
La, la la la la, la la la
A         E      D     A
La, la la la la, la la la
 
[Verse 2]
  D               E
I walked into the room one night
  A                    D
I found her mother and gun
         D                   E
Well the man was dead, and I kneeled and cried
    B                             E7
The sheriff ran in and said: "I'm holding you, son"
 
[Chorus]
A         E      D     A
La, la la la la, la la la
A         E      D     A
La, la la la la, la la la
 
[Verse 3]
D                 E
Through the day I sing and play
    A              D
But time is on my side
    D                 E
But when the moon and stars come out
  B               E7
I lay me down and cry
A       E        D     A
For the saviour, mar I lied
A     E        D       A
Now I will not have a ride
  A        E           D           A
Beside the window the scaffold was made
A      E      D      A
On the morrow I will hang
 
[Outro]
A         E      D     A
La, la la la la, la la la
A         E      D     A
La, la la la la, la la la
A         E      D     A
La, la la la la, la la la
A         E      D     A
La, la la la la, la la la
