        Eb             Bb
  I was walking in the street
         F                   C
  When a brick hit me in the ear
         Eb                Bb
  It was wrapped in toilet paper
           F                      C
  Saying, "please, get us out of here."
    F                          
  I looked toward the prison
                                   C
  I saw the pains, heard the women wail
                Eb                     Bb
  I thought, "tonight, you're alright, boy,"
            F                    Bb6  Gm7 |F/C  C C  [repeat intro]
  There's a riot in the female jail
  
                 G5 G5 G6 G6 ...
  They've broken out 
  Storming the town again
  They're up and down
  Their plainclothes just can't earn them a win
  
                 G
  They've been defiled
                 Am
  They've been denied
                 Bm        Csus4
  They've been deprived
                          Bb6  Gm7 |F/C  C C  [repeat intro]
  And they're looking for me
  
  I ran right up to the gates
  So that I could be the first one raped
  I was there when they brung class here [?]
  And I got the whole show taped
  
  I carried welsh [?], sand and whiskey
  To seduce all the prettiest tails
  I thought, tonight, I'm alright, boy
  There's a riot in the female jail
  
  They've broken out
  Storming the town
  Went up and down
  They been inside, just can't be run away
  
  They've been defiled
  They've been denied
  They've been deprived
  And they're looking for me
  
  [bridge]
  G          G6          G         G6
  All of the sudden they came through
  C                       
  Followed by the latest screws
  Bb                         F       
  Don't mind the screws they screw to
  Bb                       F        G   C   F/C C   F/C C 
    They keep losing their blues
  
  I was the first in line
  And I got carried to my dream come true
  Then the fire when out
  And they started to round up a girl or two
  
  Tomorrow I'll be cleaning their windows
  With my lover up there
  Passing hacksaw blades and keys to the...
  
  F
  Ladies in the female
  F
  Cold, lonely female
  F
  Ladies in the female
  F                    Bb6  Gm7 |F/C  C C  [repeat intro to end]
  Ladies in the female jail
  
  Oh yeah..
