[Verse 1]
Am Em
Take me away, take me away
Dm
They're gonna take me away
G
To Pelican Bay
Am Em
Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
Dm G Am
They gonna take me to Pelican Bay
Am Dm G
They don't have no fishin' in the Pelican Bay
Am Dm G
Room and board and free weights
Am Em
Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
Dm G Am
They gonna take me to Pelican Bay
[Verse 2]
Am
An eye for an eye
Em
A man for a man
Am Dm G
You kill one of mine, I'm takin' three of them
Am Em
Strawberry wine is thicker than blood
Dm G Am
When your kickin' back in the cut
Am Dm G
And if the pig don't get you then the Charlie will
Am Dm G
If the life don't reach you then Satan will
Am Em
Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
Dm G Am
They gonna take me to Pelican Bay
[Instrumental]

Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
Dm G Am
They gonna take me to Pelican Bay
[Bridge]
Dm G Am
Even the Lord will forget about us
Dm G Am
Even the Lord will forget about us
Dm G Dm
Even the Lord will forget about us

Down on the Pelican Bay
Dm G Am
