Johnny Cash - The Wall: chords

           A
There's a lot of strange men in cell block ten
                          E7
But the strangest of them all
        D                  A
Was a friend of mine who spent his time
  D             A
Staring at the wall
  D             A
Staring at the wall

In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote
Proving crime don't pay
Was the very same gal he robbed and stole for
Namin' their wedding day
Namin' their wedding day

Chorus:
       D
As he looked at the wall
      A
So strong and tall
   D                A
I heard him softly curse
   D                 A
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
    D                    A
But I'm going to be the first
D                    A
I'm going to be the first

Then the warden walked by and said son don't try
I'd hate to see you fall
Because there is no doubt they'll carry you out
If you ever touch that wall
If you ever touch that wall

Chorus:
Well there's never been a man
Who shook this camp
But I knew a man who tried
The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan
But I know it was suicide
I know it was suicide
