Intro: F#m

F#m		      E		  F#m
Here I sit in prison, guilty of a crime
F#m				   E           F#m
Yes, it's true I killed a man, but it was justified

All verses are just this F#m-E-F#m pattern repeated.

Chorus:
        A            F#m  D          E             F#m
Yipee-I-Yay, Yipee-I-Yo,  damn these iron bars are cold
        A            F#m  D    A  E                F#m
Yipee-I-Yay, Yipee-I-Yo,  here in prison I'll grow old
