You know, I remember we were playing cards for cigarettes that day when
D
C
the guard came in and said that some people wanted to sing for us.
So we picked up our blanket
G
an d cigarettes
and we put them in our cells
D
and then we walked back
out to the bullpen
and there were four men
standing there
G
and one of them had a guitar in his hand
and they began to sing,
D
G
Amazing Grace,
C

how sweet the sound.
Well when they got through
C
I said, excuse me sir,
D
could I play your guitar
G
C
an d he said,
How will I get it in there to you?
G
And I said, just hold it up to the bars.
C
I'll stick my hands through the bars.
I'd like to do some songs
Am
G
for you that I wrote.
And later, when I was on death row,
C
one of the convicts in El
Block had a radio,
and he turned it up,

and it kind of reminded me of that day.

I recall last Sunday morning
C

when a choir from off the street

Came in to sing a few old gospel songs

And I heard him, I asked the singer,

Could I play your guitar please?
