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

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

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

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

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