       G                           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 names on my tongue and her bloods in my stream
[Estribillo]
D            C     G 
Wait a while eternity  
C                       G          D 
old Mother Nature's got nothing on me 
G 
Come to me, run to me 
C 
Come to me now 
      G 
We're rolling my sweetheart  
      D          G 
We're flowing by God

    G                               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 
Her heart is as big as this whole goddamn jail 
        G                           D          G 
And she sweeter than saccharin at a drug store sale
[Estribillo]
D           C     G 
Wait awhile eternity  
C                       G          D 
Old Mother Nature's got nothing on me 
G 
Come to me , run to me  
C 
Come to me now 
      G 
We're rolling my sweetheart  
      D          G 
We're flowing by god

The search light in the big yard swings round with the gun 
        G                                                 D 
And the spotlights in the snowflakes,like the dust in the sun 
     G                                C 
It's Christmas in prison, there'll be music tonight 
     G                        D            G 
I'll probably get homesick, I love you goodnight
[Estribillo]
D            C     G 
Wait a while eternity  
C                       G          D 
Old Mother Nature's got nothing on me 
G 
Come to me, run to me 
C 
Come to me now 
      G 
We're rolling my sweetheart  
      D          G 
We're flowing by God
