[Verse 1]
 D
Just last week I went to prison
                                G
To see some boys down on death row
             A
Brought some guitars and my buddies
                       G      D
To play some songs I thought they'd know
 
I could feel myself trembling
                           G
When I shook one of their hands
               A
I thought that he would be a monster
                            G     D
Turns out he's a whole lot like I am
 
[Chorus]
                 G
Yeah, we talked hunting, we talked fishing
       D
Like I do with boys back home
     Bm
How Jesus is the ticket
     A
And narrow is the road
          G
About how all we need is forgiveness
         D                   Bm
'Fore we see them streets of gold
        D                          
Yeah, I learned a lot 'bout livin' 
          A                  D
from them boys down on death row
 
[Verse 2]
D
One of 'em name's was Johnny
                                  G
Ain't touched the grass in thirty years
      A
Maybe I ain't supposed to feel sorry no
                     G       D
But it 'bout brought me to tears
 
Then it hit me, we're all human
                               G
Ain't always proud of what we done
      A
Everybody's days are numbered
                              G          D
Only difference is, they all know which ones
 
[Chorus]
                 G
Yeah, we talked hunting, we talked fishing
       D
Like I do with boys back home
     Bm
How Jesus is the ticket
     A
And narrow is the road
          G
About how all we need is forgiveness
         D                   Bm
'Fore we see them streets of gold
        D                          
Yeah, I learned a lot 'bout livin' 
          A                  D
from them boys down on death row

[Verse 3]
D
One of 'em sang, "Amazing Grace", how sweet the sound
 
With one hand raised and one foot chained to the ground
         G                                     D
Yeah, he sang it like he knew he'd just been found
                G          A                D
Yeah that next week, they laid him six feet down
 
[Break 2]
G D Bm A
 
[Chorus 2]
         G                       
I can't say that he's in Heaven, 
       D              Bm
who am I to judge his soul?
     D                          
But Jesus don't play favorites, 
         A                  Bm
sayin' a name that He don't know
       D                           
Yeah I learned that and then some, 
           A                  D
with them boys down on death row
  D                               
I learned all that and then some, 
          A                  D
from the boys down on death row
