Prison Boxing Chords - Cataldo

Verse 1

D A dispatch from the icy mist, Bm two rosy cheeks that I once kissed. A* You'll see me go D My head's already out the door, Bm thinking a month out maybe more. A* Em7 and few would follow G somewhere a violin bows and a rock a rolls D Bm D Prison boxing got to me Bm the toughest fights you rarely see A* beyond the bars D and all the fists and gloves Bm a cruising waits with eyes swelled shut A* Em7 and look at them G no one wins

Chorus

D (piano) till my friends say D "how are you? G D A Em7 A It's been too many years." A D G And I say, with purity and candor, D A Em7 A "I've missed you." D riff Bm A* D riff Bm A*

Verse 2

D So bring your poppies home to us Bm forget the roses, buttercup. A* There'll be no need. D We'll plant on robot row and Bm promise in the ground below, A* Em7 That there will be more. G So swing wide the doors G and not yet bury that I'm ready for. D I won't press you in a book, Bm a flat brown shell of what you were. A* I'll never need another look. D Cause I'm not proud, I'm not ashamed, Bm I'm not at risk of forgetting your name. A* Em7 You are an ending. G I found some peace in

Chorus

D(piano) and when all my friends say D "how are you? G D A Em7 A It's been too many years." A D G And I say, with purity and candor, D A Em7 A "I've missed you."
