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

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

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

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

    G                   D              G
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.
