[Capo 3]
One day a Amfriend took me aside
and said, "I havDme to leave you.
For buying Amsomething from a friend
They say I have done Emwrong. E7
For proAmtecting the name of a man
they say I'll have to Dm7leave you.
So now I'm Ambidding you fareEmwell for much too Dm7long. Am
And here's a Amsong to sing for every Dm7man inside.
If he can Amhear you sing it's an open Emdoor. E7
There's not a Amrich man there who couldn't Dm7pay his way
and buy the Amfreedom, that's a Emhigh price for the Dm7poor. Am
Am(9) Dm7(6) Am(9) Em E7
Kids in Texas, smoking grass, ten year sentence, comes to pass.
Am(9) Dm7(6) Am(9) Em E7
Misdemeanor in Ann Arbor, ask the judges why'
Another Amfriend said to her kids
I'm gonna have to Dmleave you
For selling Amsomething to the man
I guess I did Emwrong. E7
And although I Amdid the best I could
I'm gonna have to Dm7leave you.
So now I'm Amkissing you fareEmwell for much too Dm7long. Am
And here's a Amsong to sing for every Dm7man inside.
If he can Amhear you sing it's an open Emdoor. E7
There's not a Amrich man there who couldn't Dm7pay his way
and buy the Amfreedom, that's a Emhigh price for the Dm7poor. Am7
