From the iron gates
I can see outside
I can see the freight, trains pass by

And the day will come
I cannot even wait
When a tap my drum
Outside these iron gates

There's a crack in the wall
I stash some paper within
The screw turns back down the hall
I jot down a poem

And the day will come
I cannot even wait
When I tap on my drum
Outside these iron gates

On these iron gates
I clink my old cup
I pretend its a bad dream
And I cannot wake up

And the day will come
I cannot even wait
When I tap on my drum
Outside these iron gates

Chords

              g
From the iron gates
          c  
I can see outside  
                       d           g  
I can see the freight, trains pass by  
                 c  
And the day will come   
Walk down to am  
I cannot even wait  
       g  c   g  
When a tap my drum  
       g  c   d  
Outside these iron gates
