Song: Jailhouse Fire Tab

[Gm]Did you see that lady there they stripped her t[D#]o her underwear     [D]
[Gm]She took it one step further and stripped to [D#]bare [D]
[Gm]Through the rising flames and smoke she laughed as all the police cho[D#]ked
And then she danced [D]in the government pyr[Gm]e


[D]The[D#] jailhouse is on fire    [Gm]
[D]The[D#] jailhouse is on fire    [Gm]

Whistle: D# Bb F Cm
She grabbed a guard and stole his keys unlocked the cellsAnd set us free and we ran and caught our pants on the old barbed wireWe hit the dirt we hit the road we jumped the fenceWe kissed a toad and we hollared at the ladiesIn the churchyard choir
The jailhouse is on fireThe jailhouse is on fire
I hopped a train and headed west free woman now just like the restAll the hobos on the line called me a liarThe train it choked and spewed and spat and coal smoke billowed thick and blackAnd she was everywhere and rising higher she set
The jailhouse on fireThe jailhouse on fire
