I use the following pattern: Gm (4), Eb (2), D (2) throughout and that seems to work.

Gm                                Eb                  D
Did you see that lady there they stripped her to her underwear
Gm                                           Eb   D
She took it one step further and stripped to bare
Gm                                       Eb                D
Through the rising flames and smoke she laughed as all the police choked
             Gm                       Eb
And then she danced in the government pyre

     D              Gm    Eb
The jailhouse is on fire
     D              Gm    Eb  D
The jailhouse is on fire

Eb  Bb  F  Cm

    Gm                                 Eb
She grabbed a guard and stole his keys unlocked the cells
    D                  Gm                                         Eb    D
And set us free and we ran and caught our pants on the old barbed wire
   Gm                              Eb
We hit the dirt we hit the road we jumped the fence
   D                    Gm
We kissed a toad and we hollared at the ladies
                  Eb
In the churchyard choir

     D              Gm    Eb
The jailhouse is on fire
     D              Gm    Eb  D
The jailhouse is on fire

  Gm                                  Eb             D
I hopped a train and headed west free woman now just like the rest
        Gm                            Eb    D
All the hobos on the line called me a liar
    Gm                                       Eb                 D
The train it choked and spewed and spat and coal smoke billowed thick and black
    Gm                            Eb
And she was everywhere and rising higher

    D                    Gm    Eb
She set the jailhouse on fire
    D                    Gm    Eb
She set the jailhouse on fire
