Lynyrd Skynyrd - Four Walls Of Raiford: chords

E
Well them four walls of Raiford,
closing in on me.
         B                         A           E
Doin' three to five hard labor for armed robbery.
E
I had two years well behind me,
but I could not wait the time
          B
For everytime I thought about it,
        A                E
Lord I died some more inside.

And I had stripes on my back, memories that hurt
For the only time I seen sunshine is when I hit the dirt
Digging ditches for the chain gang, sleeping in the cold
Oh Lord please forgive me for
I could not wait no more

Chorus:
         A
And I'm coming home to see my Jesus.
          E
Lord, it feels so close this time.
             B                            A              E
Please have mercy on a soldier from the Florida-Georgia line.
           A
When they find me they must kill me.
    E                           B
Oh Jesus save my soul. I can't go back down to Raiford.
         A            E
I can't take that anymore.

Well these last few years behind me
Oh Lord, have been so sad
I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad
Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die
Only me and Jesus know that
I never stole a dime

Well when Vietnam was over there was no work here for me
I had a pretty wife awaiting and two kids I had to feed
Well I'm one of America's heroes and when they shoot me down
Won't fly old Glory proudly,
put my medals in the ground

Chorus
