Dmaj7                   D
Stuck inside these four walls,
G6                  G6/A
Sent inside forever,
Dmaj7             Dmaj9
Never seeing no one
G          A    G D
Nice again like you,
Gm6  G D  Gm6  Dmaj7 Gm6
Mama you, mama you.

Am D6 Am D6 Am 

Am       
If I ever get out of here,

Thought of giving it all away
Am
To a registered charity.

All I need is a pint a day
     Am                   
If I ever get out of here.

          C                    Fmaj7
Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun,
        C                     Fmaj7
And the first one said to the second one there
                       Em
I hope you're having fun.
G           C    Em   C      Am
Band on the run, band on the run.
         F             C
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
     F               Fmaj7
Were searching every one
N.C.    C
For the band on the run, band on the run
Band on the run, band on the run.
          C                 Fmaj7
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come,
      C                       Fmaj7
And a bell was ringing in the village square
                         Em
For the rabbits on the run.
G           C    Em   C      Am
Band on the run, band on the run.

Band on the run, band on the run.

Well, the night was falling as the desert world
                   Em
Began to settle down.
       C                             Fmaj7
In the town they're searching for us every where
                          Em
But we never w ill be found.

And the county judge who held a grudge
                    Fmaj7
Will search for evermore
