[Verse 1]
E
   In the s**thouse a shotgun
E
   Praying hands hold me down
E
   If only the hunter was hunted
E                                   
   In this tin can town, tin can town
E
   No stars in the black night
E
   Looks like the sky fall down
E
   No sun in the daylight, looks like it's
E
   Chained to the ground, chained to the ground


[Chorus]
E                        A
    The warden says "The exit's sold."
       B                   A
If you want a way out...
           E     A          E
Silver and gold, silver and gold

[Verse 2]
E                              A
   Broken back to the ceiling
E                              A
   Broken nose to the floor
E                                  A
   I scream at the silence, it's crawling
E                             A
   Crawls under the door
E                                     A
   There's a rope around my neck, and
E                                 A
   There's a trigger in your gun
E                         A
   Jesus, say something!
E                  A          E   A
   I am someone, I am someone


[Chorus]
E                     A
   Captains and Kings in the ship's hold
     B                A
They came to collect
           E                      E
Silver and gold, silver and gold


[Instrumental]

              [Listen for the guitar riff to come in with the Em and A/E chords]

[Bridge]
Em
   I seen the coming and the going
Em
Seen the captains and the Kings
Em                               A
   Seen their navy blue uniforms, seen them
Em                                     A         E
   Bright and shiny things, bright and shiny things

[Verse 3]
E                            A
  The temperature is rising
E                     A
  The fever white hot
E                            A
  Mister I ain't got nothing, but it's
E                      A
  More than you've got
E                                A
  These chains no longer bind me
E                              A
  Nor the shackles at my feet
E                            A
  Outside are the prisoners
E                  A             E
  Inside the free (set them free)
       A             E
Mmmmm, set them free          [The final E should go straight into the outro]


[Outro]
                     A
A prize fighter in a corner is told
B                  A                E
Hit where it hurts - For Silver and Gold
    A          E
For Silver and Gold, mmmm
