Verse 1:
Gm Cm A# D7
I remember when, I saw the sea freeze.

'Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been,

Gm Cm
And I'm hired to sin, but don't we all sin?
A# D7
That is the truth and the truth is grim.
Gm Cm
It ain't easy in jail; the stories for sale,

And wants you to be his special guest.
