(G)


They throwed him in jail
And they kept him there
  C              G
Hoping soo he'd die
That his body and spirit would waste away
           C             G    C
And soon after that his mind


                        G    C
But every day is born a fool
                            G     C
One who thinks that he can rule
                          G     C
One who says tomorrow's mine
                          D     G
One who wakes one day to find
The prison doors open the shackles broken
      C                G
And chaos in the street



            C              D           G
Everybody sing we're free free free free
            C              D           G
Everybody sing we're free free free free
            C              D           G
Everybody sing we're free free free free



They throwed him in jail
And they kept him there
   C                 G
Hoping his memory'd die
That the people forget how he once led
                  C               G     C
And fought for justice in their lives


                         G    C
But every day is born a man
                              G     C
Who hates what he can't understand
                              G     C
Who thinks the answer is to kill
                                  D     
Who thinks his actions are god's will


         C                D         G
And he thinks he's free free free free
         C                D         G
Yes he thinks he's free free free free
      C              D          G       C
He thinks he's free free free free


                        G
Soon must come the day
                                   Em               
Where the righteous have their way
                       B
Unjustly tried are free
                               C(bar)
And people live in peace I say
                    G
Give the man release
                                  Em
Go on and set your conscience free
                         B
Right the wrongs you made
                             C(bar)  G   C(bar)  G
Even a fool can have his day
