You know, I remember we were playing cards for cigarettes that day when
C#
B
the guard came in and said that some people wanted to sing for us.
So we picked up our blanket
F#
an d cigarettes
and we put them in our cells
C#
and then we walked back
out to the bullpen
and there were four men
standing there
F#
and one of them had a guitar in his hand
and they began to sing,
C#
F#
Amazing Grace,
B
F#
how sweet the sound.
Well when they got through
B
I said, excuse me sir,
C#
could I play your guitar
F#
B
an d he said,
How will I get it in there to you?
F#
And I said, just hold it up to the bars.
B
I'll stick my hands through the bars.
I'd like to do some songs

F#
for you that I wrote.
And later, when I was on death row,
B
one of the convicts in El
Block had a radio,
and he turned it up,
F#
C#
F#
and it kind of reminded me of that day.
C#
I recall last Sunday morning
B
F#
when a choir from off the street
C#
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
F#

And I heard him, I asked the singer,
B
Could I play your guitar please?
