CC Piano Chord 

You  looked for trouble and you found it son

Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
CC Piano Chord 

You tried to run but I don't think you can
CC Piano Chord 

You make one move and you're a dead man friend
FF Piano Chord 

Ain't living long like this
CC Piano Chord 

Can't live at all like this can I baby
GG Piano Chord 

He slipped the handcuffs on behind your back

And left me freezing  on a steel rail track
FF Piano Chord 

They got'em all in the jailhouse baby
CC Piano Chord 

I Ain't living long like this
CC Piano Chord 

Grew up in Houston off the wayside drive

Son of a carhop in some all night dives

Dad drove a stock car to an early death

All I remember was a drunk man's breath
FF Piano Chord 

I Ain't living long like this
CC Piano Chord 

Can't live at all like this can I baby
GG Piano Chord 

You know the story how the wheel goes 'round

Don't let them take you to the man downtown
FF Piano Chord 

They got ie all in  the jailhouse baby
CC Piano Chord 

Ain't living long like this

Can't live at all like this can i baby

SOLO

CC Piano Chord 

You live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen
CC Piano Chord 

Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
CC Piano Chord 

You want to love her but you don't know how

Your at the bottom in the jailhouse now
FF Piano Chord 

Ain't living long like this
CC Piano Chord 

Can't live at all like this can I baby
GG Piano Chord 

You know the story about the jailhouse rock

Go on and do it but just don't get caught
FF Piano Chord 

Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby
CC Piano Chord 

Ain't living long like this

Can't live at all like this can i baby

Ain't living long like  this

F      C       F        C        F         C   and  fade out
