C G C
San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
F C
Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
G C
You bent my heart and mind and you may my soul,
C G C
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold.
C G C
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.
F C
May your walls fall and may I live to tell.
G C
May all the world forget you ever stood.
C G C
And may all the world regret you did no good.
C G C
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.
