Bm A Bm
I'm sitting here in my empty cell,
Bm D Bm
it's dark and drab and damp.
G F#m Em
They throw me crusts to eat
Em Bm
Drink water from the well.
Bm A Bm
I was playing my part in this dreadful war
Bm D Bm
when someone ran me through:
D Em
They bound me up in chains,
D Bm A
and that's the last I knew.
A Bm
The guards are watching day and night
G F#m E
and they observe each move I make
G F#m Bm
I wonder if they'll let me out alive -
G A Bm
I know there's no way to escape
A Bm
I know the feeling of dejection:
G F#m Bm G
To be imprisoned for no crime
G F#m Bm
So God please take me out of here
G A Bm
You are my one hope at this time.
E F#m
Why are those people shouting?
E F#m
Is the battle lost or won?
A G#m C#m
Now the footsteps of the guards -
G#m F#m E F#m
will my chains be tightened or undone?
