B7 E A B7 E
IB7nside the walls of prison my bEody may be but my LAord has sB7et my soul fEree
There's a Egreystone chapel here at Folsom
a house of worship in this den of B7sin
You wouldn't Ethink that God had a place here at Folsom
But he Asaved the soul of B7many lost mEen
Now this Egreystone chapel here at Folsom
Stands a hundred years old made of granite rB7ock
It takes a Ering of keys to move here at Folsom
But the Adoor to the House of B7God is never Elocked
IBnside the walls of prison my Ebody may be but the LAord has sB7et my soul fEree
[Solo]

There are Emen here that don't ever worship
There are men here who scoff at the ones who B7pray
But I've Egot down on my knees in that greystone chapel
And I Athank the Lord for B7helpin' me each dEay
Now this Egreystone chapel here at Folsom
It has a touch of God's hand on every B7stone
It's a Eflower of light in a field of darkness
and it's Agivin' me the B7strength to carry oEn
IB7nside the walls of prison my bEody may be but my LAord has sB7et my soul frEee

[Intro]

B7 E A B7 E

Inside the walls of prison my body may be but my Lord has set my soul free

There's a greystone chapel here at Folsom

a house of worship in this den of sin

You wouldn't think that God had a place here at Folsom

A B7 E

But he saved the soul of many lost men

Now this greystone chapel here at Folsom

Stands a hundred years old made of granite rock

It takes a ring of keys to move here at Folsom

A B7 E

But the door to the House of God is never locked

B E A B7 E

Inside the walls of prison my body may be but the Lord has set my soul free

[Solo]

B7 E A B7 E

There are men here that don't ever worship

There are men here who scoff at the ones who pray

But I've got down on my knees in that greystone chapel

A B7 E

And I thank the Lord for helpin' me each day

Now this greystone chapel here at Folsom

It has a touch of God's hand on every stone

It's a flower of light in a field of darkness

A B7 E

and it's givin' me the strength to carry on

B7 E A B7 E

Inside the walls of prison my body may be but my Lord has set my soul free
