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

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

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

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

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