I Ain't Living Long Like This[+]

tabbed by Unknown

C       
You  looked for trouble and you found it son
C       
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
C       
You tried to run but I don't think you can
C 
You make one move and you're a dead man friend
             F
Ain't living long like this
              C         
Can't live at all like this can I baby
G       
He slipped the handcuffs on behind your back
G       
And left me freezing  on a steel rail track
G           F 
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby
F               C
I Ain't living long like this
C       
Grew up in Houston off the wayside drive
C
Son of a carhop in some all night dives
C       
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
C       
All I remember was a drunk man's breath
C              F
I Ain't living long like this
F             C
Can't live at all like this can I baby
 G          
You know the story how the wheel goes 'round
G       
Don't let them take you to the man downtown
G           F
They got ie all in  the jailhouse baby
F            C
Ain't living long like this
C
Can't live at all like this can i baby

SOLO

C       
You live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen
C       
Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
C       
You want to love her but you don't know how
        
Your at the bottom in the jailhouse now
             F
Ain't living long like this
              C 
Can't live at all like this can I baby
G       
You know the story about the jailhouse rock
G
Go on and do it but just don't get caught
G              F  
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby
F            C
Ain't living long like this
C
Can't live at all like this can i baby
C
