    Do                    Sol                 Do
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me
                       Fa                    Do
You've hosted me since nineteen sixty three
Sol                                              Do
I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die
Do             Sol                  Do
And long ago I stopped askin' why

    Do               Sol               Do
San Quentin, I hate evry inch of you.
                       Fa                        Do
You've cut me and have scarred me thru an' thru.
Sol                                   Do
And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man;
Do                      Sol                  Do
Mister Congressman why can't you understand.

    Do             Sol                       Do
San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
                    Fa                              Do
Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
    Sol                                         Do
You bent my heart and mind and you may my soul,
         Do                   Sol                  Do
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold.

    Do                Sol                   Do
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.
                              Fa            Do
May your walls fall and may I live to tell.
   Sol                                   Do
May all the world forget you ever stood.
        Do             Sol                      Do
And may all the world regret you did no good.

    Do                   Sol              Do
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.
