Verse

Well it's another rainy night, here in my home town
D#
And the rain beats down on the stone surround of the prison grounds

Well you can raise a smile but lower your eyes when you pass by
D#

And you know, I've been told, all prison bars are closed.

So won’t you raise your glass get drunk for me

Ab Gm Ab D# Ab A# D#
So won't you set them up unselfishly please raise your glass to foolish me.
