They don't have no fishin' in the Pelican Bay

Room and board and free weights
Am           Em
Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
           Dm           G     Am
They gonna take me to Pelican Bay


[Verse 2]
Am
An eye for an eye
Em
A man for a man
Am                                Dm      G
You kill one of mine, I'm takin' three of them
Am                 Em
Strawberry wine is thicker than blood
          Dm           G      Am
When your kickin' back in the cut
           Am                         Dm      G
And if the pig don't get you then the Charlie will
       Am                          Dm    G
If the life don't reach you then Satan will
Am           Em
Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
           Dm           G      Am
They gonna take me to Pelican Bay
