Intro: G, A, F#m, G, G, A, D G Blue Mountain Penitentiary A Been housing sin for centuries F#m G I am just a number, not a name G And you wear a gun and hold the keys A But you've always been good to me F#m G Only see the man and not the shame G And I haven't seen my wife in years A Last memory is her in tears F#m G Wonder if she'll even come tonight G There's something that she doesn't know A She needs to hear before I go F#m G Could you tell her I'm alright G A Would you pray with me F#m G Touch the hand of a sinner G A Would you stay with me F#m G And be my guest for dinner G A F#m G G A D G Looks like this is my dyin' day A They tell me that's the only way F#m G I'll ever see the other side again G But they don't know who's been in here A Every day the last three years F#m G Yes, sir, I'm the one who let Him in G And He comes and sits down in my chair A Weeping, breathing this same air F#m G And opens up His hands G Reminds me that He walked this mile A Suffered for a little while F#m G And made me an innocent man G A Would you pray with me F#m G Touch the hand of a sinner G A Would you stay with me F#m G And be my guest for dinner Chorus 3: G A Would you pray with me F#m G Touch the hand of a sinner G A Would you stay with me F#m G And be my guest for dinner Outro: G, A, F#m, G (4x)
