Capo 1st Fret
Hey Folks! The pull-on-offy stuff is fairly intuitive, basically it centers around the top two strings and involves a pull
off on the B string: 0-1-3 between the G and C chords, and that same but reverse a hammer on: 0-1-3, before you play the G
chord. Listen to it and you'll get the feel of it. The actual chord figuring out was the tricky part for me and I am not
sure about the G/C or the G/Dish chord that I transcribed, but it works.
G/Dish
-0-
[-3-]
[-2-]-0-
[-2-]-0-
I got r[G]id of the sha[C]ckles that bou[G]nd me
and the g[G]uards that were a[G/C]lways aro[D]und me
There w[G]ere tears on [C]the mail mothe[G]r wrote me in jail
G G/Dish G
But I'm free from the chain gang now
All the[G] years I was [C]known and resp[G]ected
'til one [G]day I was wrongly[G/C] suspecte[D]d
I was s[G]hackled in ch[C]ains in a cold[G] freezin' rain
G G/Dish G
but I'm free from the chain gang now
(Guitar)
All the[G] years I was [C]known by a num[G]ber
how I [G]kept my mi[G/C]nd is a w[D]onder
But lik[G]e a bird in a[C] tree I got my[G] liberty
G G/Dish G
and I'm free from the chain gang now
I got r[G]id of the sha[C]ckles that bou[G]nd me
and the g[G]uards that were a[G/C]lways aro[D]und me
There were t[G]ears on the m[C]ail mother sen[G]t me in jail
G G/Dish G
But I'm free from the chain gang now
There were t[G]ears on the m[C]ail mother sen[G]t me in jail
G G/Dish G
But I'm free from the chain gang now
