       A huGngry feeling,  Came oG'er me stealing
       And the mCice were squGealing,  In Gmy Gmaj9prison cEmell
       And the aGuld triangle,  Went jiGngle jangle
       All al-Co-ng,  The bGanks of,  The RoDyal CaGnal
       To beGgin the morning, A scGrew was bawlin'
       Get Cup ya boGwsies,  And clGean Gmaj9out yer cEmell
       And the aGuld triangle,  Went jiGngle jangle
       All al-Co-ng,  The bGanks of,  The RDoyal CaGnal
Solo   AS VERSE      G     G    C    G    G       Em     G     G     C      G    D  G  
       And  the scGrew he was keepin',  As a yoGung lad lay sleepin'
       He was dreCaming abGout,  His gGood  Gmaj9girl   EmSal
       And the auGld triangle,  Went jiGngle jangle
       All al-Co-ng,  The baGnks of,  The RoDyal CaGnal

       All al-Co-ng,  The baGnks of,  The RoDyal CaGnal
       Said, All al-Co-ng the baGnks of, The RDoyal CaGnal

A hungry feeling, Came o'er me stealing

C G G Gmaj9 Em

And the mice were squealing, In my prison cell

And the auld triangle, Went jingle jangle

To begin the morning, A screw was bawlin'

Get up ya bowsies, And clean out yer cell

And among them, That I wish I did dwell
