A piece of Estone I will use as my Apillow
My comB7panion will be shackles and Echains

The B7plans that we made were in vEain
A piece of Estone I will use as my Apillow
While I'm B7sleeping in shackles and Echains

[Verse 1]

E A

On a long lonesome journey I'm going

B7 E

Come my darling and please don't you cry

E A

Though in shackles and chains they will take me

B7 E

To a prison to stay 'til I die

[Chorus]

And at night through the bars

I will gaze at the stars

B7 E

And long for your kisses in vain

E A

A piece of stone I will use as my pillow

B7 E

My companion will be shackles and chains

Put your arms through these bars once my darling

Let me kiss those sweet lips I love best

E A

In heartache you're my consolation

B7 E

In sorrow my haven of rest

[Chorus]

And at night through the bars

I will gaze at the stars

B7 E

The plans that we made were in vain

E A

A piece of stone I will use as my pillow

B7 E

While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
