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

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

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

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

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