[Chorus]
D
Chain gang, chain gang
            G
Oh, turn me loose
                     D
Why don't you set me free?
                 A
Of heartache and blues
D          G          D
Well, he's gone, he's gone
                  G
I can't stand the pain
       D
Set me free
        A
Turn me loose
                  D        G       D
Chain gang, chain gang-ang-ang-ang-ang


[Verse 1]
          G
Well, I'm g-u-i-l-t-y
D
Guilty of a heart that breaks
         E
Darlin', I loved you, but you said goodbye
A
 You left me shackled to an old heartache


[Chorus]
                  D
Chain gang, chain gang
            G
Oh, turn me loose
                     D
Why don't you set me free?
                 A
Of heartache and blues
D          G          D
Well, he's gone, he's gone
                  G
I can't stand the pain
       D
Set me free
        A
Turn me loose
                  D        G       D
Chain gang, chain gang-ang-ang-ang-ang


[Bridge]
G
All day in, all day out
D
Darlin', I'm just doin' time
    E
I'm sentenced to life without you
A
Baby, it's a doggone crime
