This is the version from OCMS's "Remedy" Album
"The Warden"
D  G  D  D  A  D
D  G  D  D  A  D
D                            G              D
The warden stands tall as he walks down the hall
D                         A      D
Puts all our lives on the shelf
D            G          D
Holding the keys to our miseries
D           A             D
How does he live with himself?
G                    D
How does the warden sleep at night
D                     A
After the long day's through?
        D                       G           D
Does he toss and turn, does his conscience burn?
            A     D
Is he a prisoner too?
D  G  D  D  A  D
D  G  D  D  A  D
D                        G          D
Down in this pen full of sorrow and sin
                         A         D
Do the days weigh on his chest?
D
When the warden goes home
       G              D
To his house made of stone
            A       D
How does he get any rest?
G                    D
How does the warden sleep at night
D                    A
After the long day's through?
        D                       G          D
Does he toss and turn, does his conscience burn?
        A        D
Is he a prisoner too?
      G         D
Oh warden, hey warden
           A              D
Are you so different than me?
    G       D
Hey warden, warden
D            A          D
What does it mean to be free?
D                          G           D
I look through the bars to look at the stars
                              A    D
And we're all the same so it seems
D                  G         D
And just like me I wonder if he
              A            D
Can ever find peace in his dreams
G                            D
How does the warden sleep at night
D                    A
After the long day's through?
                 D              G          D
Does he toss and turn, does his conscience burn?
           A     D
Is he a prisoner too?
          A        D
Are you a prisoner too?
