I'm Free From The Chain Gang Now  
Recorded by Jimmie Rodgers
Written by Lou Herscher

C                   F             C
I've got rid of the shackles that bound me
                               G7
And the guards who were always around me
       C           F
Like a bird in the tree
     C             F
I've found my liberty
        C             G7         C
And I'm free from the chain gang now

               F         C
Long ago I was known and respected
                           G7
Then one day I was falsely suspected
         C         F
And they put me in jail
        C          F
Working out in the rain
        C             G7         C
But I'm free from the chain gang now

                        F         C
I know my mother's poor heart was broken
                                   G7
Cause she knew that an untruth was spoken
           C            F
There were tears on the mail
         C          F
That she sent me in jail
        C             G7         C
But I'm free from the chain gang now

                    F          C
All the years I was known by a number
                                     G7
Were just years that I spent without slumber
      C             F
After long years of shame
       C           F
I have won back my name
        C             G7         C
And I'm free from the chain gang now

              F            C
Now I'm going back home to another
                                 G7
She's my sweetheart waiting with mother 
         C           F
And I'll dry all the tears
            C            F
That's been shedding for years
          C             G7         C
Cause I'm free from the chain gang now
