Have to say I'm really pleased with the way this song turned out

Read something in one of the newspapers over the weekend -it stuck in my head

who is the Free man -the man outside or the man inside ?
so here's a prison song -in reverse-

2 acoustic guitar tracks
Strat
2 vocal tracks
thanks for listening gang

Tommy

Free man.
D------------------------------------------------A7
Here I am a free man and I ain't got a cent
a cousin of mine is doin time
D
down in the local tent
D-------------------------------------------A7
Flat screen TVs broadband total luxury
Here I am a free man
------------------------D
I've got shag all you see
=
Here I am a free man and I ain't got a dime
here's me cousin John supposedly servin' time
Bacon and eggs for breakfast
steak and fries for tea
here I am the free man
and it's bread and jam for me
G D
-seems I took the wrong road early in my life
A7 D D7
should've robbed the local bank and got sentenced to life
G G
I'd be living happily in room 503
E7 A A7
livin' a live of ease in total luxury.
======
D A7
Now I could live quite happily and get visits every week
A7 D
from all the bloody do gooders who turn the other cheeK
D A7
They bring cake and chocolates and make sure your OK
A7
Instead I'm on the outside
A7 D
and I'm not makin' any hay
=============
Here I am a free man and I ain't got a suit
here's me brother servin' time and he don't give a hoot
walks in the countryside
and works out in the gym
Me I'm supposed to be the free man
but I'm gettin' kind of thin.
