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

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

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

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

    Re                   La              Re
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.
