Lucinda Williams: Not recorded to my knowledge, but played in concert several times in 2007
This song is a duet for a man and a woman; Parts are shown.
She plays it in Eb – here shown with capo on 6th fret.
Chorus:
D E A
She: I’m crying, jailhouse tears
D E A
and I’ve been trying all these years
D E
Been trying to ride things out
A
but now I’m shifting gears
D E A
and we’re both crying jailhouse tears
D E
He: They say I broke the law
A
now everything is broken down
D E
She: babe I know what I saw
A
I know you went downtown.
D E
He: I went to the corner
A
to get a cold six pack
D E
She: You’re a drunk you’re a stoner
A
you never came back.

D E
He: They locked me up
A
and you locked me out
D E
She: You tried to steal my truck, but
A
That’s not what this is about
D E
He: I used to be a user
A
but now I’m all out of stuff
D E
She: You’re a 3 time loser
A
you’re all fucked up
Chorus: He and She together
D E A
I’m crying, jailhouse tears
D E A
and I’ve been trying all these years
D E
Been trying to ride things out
A
but now I’m shifting gears
D E A
and we’re both crying jailhouse tears
Guitar Solo
D E
He: I’ll prove it to you somehow
A
I’m done with every bit
D E
look at me, I’m clean now
A
She: you’re so full of shit
D E
He: I swear I will tell all
A
look in my dresser drawers
D E
She: Now I’m behind the 8-ball
A
you’re behind bars.
