[Intro]
G C G D G
[Verse]
C
It was Christmas in prison and the food was real good
G D
We had turkey and pistols carved out of wood
G C
And I dream of her always, even when I don't dream
G D G
Her name's on my tongue and her blood's in my stream
[Chorus]
D C G
Wait awhile eternity
C G D
Old Mother Nature's got nothing on me
G
Run to me, come to me
C
Run to me now
G
We're rolling my sweetheart
D G
We're flowing by god
[Verse]
C
She reminds me of a chess game with someone I admire
G D
Or a picnic in the rain after a prairie fire
G C
And her heart is as big as this whole goddamn jail
G D G
And she's sweeter than saccharin at a drug store sale
[Chorus]
D C G
Wait awhile eternity
C G D
Old Mother Nature's got nothing on me
G
Run to me, come to me
C
Run to me now
G
We're rolling my sweetheart
D G
We're flowing by god
[Instrumental]
G C G D G C G D G
[Verse]
G C
Well, the searchlight in the big yard rolls round with the gun
G D
And the spotlights in the snowflakes, like dust in the sun
G C
Well, it's Christmas in prison, there'll be music tonight
G D G
And I'll probably get homesick, I love you, goodnight
[Chorus]
D C G
Wait awhile eternity
C G D
Old Mother Nature's got nothing on me
G
Run to me, come to me
C
Run to me now
G
We're rolling my sweetheart
D G
We're flowing by god
G
Run to me, come to me
C
Run to me now
G
We're rolling my sweetheart
D G
We're flowing by god
