Verse 1

C                            F
Behind these prison walls of love dear
   C                     G7
Forever more I know I’ll be
   C                       F
Condemned because you love another
   C        G7          C
No one will ever set me free

Verse 2

G7                         C
In my heart sweet memories linger
D7                        G7
Of the days when you were mine
  C                          F
Behind these prison walls of love dear
C       G7          C
Visions of a past entwined

Verse 3

                              F
Perhaps my love for you seems strange dear
C                      G7
But it’s all I’ll ever know
   C                        F
So I’ll content myself with memories
C     G7             C
If it pleases you to go

Verse 4

G7                     C
Just remember precious darling
D7                     G7
When we face the judge above
C                         F
All of our vows will be unbroken
  C          G7              C
Behind these prison walls of love
