Merle Haggard

I'LL BREAK OUT AGAIN TONIGHT
Recorded by Merle Haggard
Words and music by S. Schaffer and A. L. Owens
^C Slowly the long day turns to night
And soon they'll turn out the prison ^G7 lights
But in my cell I'm making plans
To be with you at home a- ^C gain.
^C These walls and bars can't hold a ^G7 dreamin' man
So I'll be home to tuck the ^F babies ^C in
They can chain my body but not my ^G7 mind
And I'll break out again, to- ^C night.
The warden thinks I'm in for life
'Cause all he's ever seen me wear is stripes
He don't know 'bout my blue suit and my tie
That I wear when I'm with you each night.
CHORUS
TAG: And ^G7 I'll break out again, to- ^C night.
