Asa - Jailer
Simple, but beutiful song, with an Am Dm C G progression, perfect for begginers
and still fun for advanced.
During the verses, if possible, mute the strings between chords.
During the chorus, play all chords normally.
INTRO:
(x4)
Verse 1:
Im in chains
you’re in chains too
I wear uniforms,
you wear uniforms too
Im a prisoner, you’re a prisoner too Mr Jailer
I have fears
you have fear too
I ll die,
but you said would die too
Life is beautiful
don’t you think so too? Mr Jailer
Im talking to you
CHORUS:
jailer
Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin- Be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer
Mr Jailer
Verse 2:(countinues the Am Dm C G progression)
You suppress
all my strategy
You oppress
every part of me
What you don’t know, you’re a victim too Mr Jailer
You don’t care
about my point of view
If I die
another will work for you
So you treat me
like a modern slave Mr Jailer
Im talking to you
CHORUS:
jailer
Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin- Be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer
Mr Jailer

VERSE 3:
If you walking in a market place
Don’t throw stones
Even if you do you just might hit
One of your own
Life is not about your policies
All the time
So you better rearrange your Philosophies and be good to your fellow man
CHORUS:
jailer
Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin- Be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer
Oh Im talking to you jailer
Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin- Be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer
Mr Jailer
