C
I'm a stranger to your city
   F
My name is Michael Flynn
  G7
I got drunk the other night
        C
And the police they run me in

Now, I had no money to pay my fine
   F
No friend to post my bail
   C
So I got stuck for 90 days
F      G7              C
In the Portland County jail

[Chorus]

        C
Oh, the Portland County jail
    F
The Portland County jail
      C
Yeah, I got stuck for 90 days
F      G7              C
In the Portland County jail

[Verse 2]

      C
Well, the only friend I had in there
    F
Was a man named Happy Jack
   G7
He told me of his life of crime
    C
And of all the safes he'd cracked

He ran away from Idaho
     F
With bloodhounds on his trail
      C
Could freeze the blood of an honest man
F      G7              C
In the Portland County jail

[Chorus]

        C
Oh, the Portland County jail
    F
The Portland County jail
      C
Yeah, I got stuck for 90 days
F      G7              C
In the Portland County jail

[Verse 3]

      C
Well, thе very best friend that I еver had
    F
Was Officer McCrum
   G7
He swore I was a dirty and
  C
A no-good lazy bum

One Saturday night when I got tight
   F
He tossed me in the can
    C
And now you see he's made of me
F    G7            C
An honest, workin' man

[Chorus]

        C
Oh, the Portland County jail
    F
The Portland County jail
      C
And now you see he's made of me
F    G7            C
An honest, workin' man

[Chorus]

        C
Oh, the Portland County jail
    F
The Portland County jail
      C
And now you see he's made of me
F    G7            C
An honest, workin' man
