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

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

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

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

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