                                         E                  AYour stone walls turn my blood a little cold.

       A                           E                     ASan Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.
                                        D                  AMay your walls fall, and may I live to tell.
         D                                          AMay all the world forget you ever stood.
                                               E                      AAnd the whole world will re-gret you did no good.
                                          E                 ASan Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.
