Shackels and Chains

guitar chords lyrics

Arlo Guthrie

On a long lonesome Journey I'm goingOh darling, and please don't you cry
Though in shackles and chains they will take meIn prison to stay till I die
And at night through the barsI gaze at the stars

And I long for your kisses in vainA piece of stone I will use for my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
Put your arms thru these bars once, my darlin'
Let me kiss those sweet lips that I love bestIn heartache you're my consolation
In sorrow my haven of restAnd at night through the barsI will gaze at the stars
The plans that we made were in vainA piece of stone I will use as my pillow
While I'm sleeping in shackles and chains
