Tune down 1/2 step
(Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)
 
[Intro]
 
C D D
 
[Verse]
 
     D               A7
On a Monday, I was arrested. (uh-huh)
     A7                             D
On a Tuesday, they locked me in the jail. (poor boy)
     D                         A7
On a Wednesday, my trial was attested.
     A7                                               D
On a Thursday, they said guilty and the judge's gavel fell.
 
[Chorus]
 
      D                          A7
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders.
      A7                       D
I got chains, chains around my feet.
      D                          A7
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders,
         A7                                            D
And them chains, them chains, they're 'bout to drag me down.
 
[Verse]
 
     D                      A7
On a Monday, got my striped britches. (uh-huh)
     A7                       D
On a Tuesday, got my ball and chain. (poor boy)
     D                              A7
On a Wednesday, I'm workin' diggin' ditches.
     A7                                                   D
On a Thursday, Lord, I begged them not to knock me down a-gain.
 
[Chorus]
 
      D                          A7
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders.
      A7                       D
I got chains, chains around my feet.
      D                          A7
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders,
         A7                                            D     E
And them chains, them chains, they're 'bout to drag me down.
 
[Verse]
 
     E                           B7
On a Monday, my mama come to see me. (uh-huh)
     B7                             E
On a Tuesday, they caught me with a file. (poor boy)
     E                           B7
On a Wednesday, I'm down in soli-tary.
     B7                                               E
On a Thursday, Lord, I start on bread and water for a while.
 
[Chorus]
 
      E                          B7
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders.
      B7                       E
I got chains, chains around my feet.
      E                          B7
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders,
         B7                                            E
And them chains, them chains, they're 'bout to drag me down.
