I AIN'T LIVING LONG LIKE THIS CHORDS
[Intro] [Verse] D A ■ ■ I look for trouble and I found it son A Straight down the barrel of a law man's gun A I tried to run but I don't think I can A You make one move and you're a dead man friend D Ain't living long like this A Can't live at all like this can I baby [Chorus] E He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back E And left me reeling on a steel reel rack D They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby A7 A Ain't living long like this A Can't live at all like this can I baby [Verse] A Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives A Son of a carhop and some all night dives A Dad drove a stock car to an early death A All I remember was a drunk man's breath D Ain't living long like this A Can't live at all like this can I baby [Chorus] E You know the story how the wheel goes 'round E Don't let them take you to the man downtown D Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby A Ain't living long like this A Can't live at all like this can I baby [Solo] D C D A7 A A7 E D ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Inst] G A A7 A ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] A I live with angel she's a roadhouse queen A7 Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee A A7 I want to love her but I don't know how A A7 I'm at the bottom in the jailhouse now D Ain't living long like this A Can't live at all like this can I baby [Chorus] E You know the story about the jailhouse rock E Don't want to do it but just don't get caught D They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby A Ain't living long like this [Solo] D A D D7 G A G D ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ A A7 D A A7 D C D ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ D7 A A7 A D A7 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ A D G ■ ■ ■ [End]
