[Intro]
| Am | Dm | Am | Em E7 |
| Am | Dm7 | Am Em | Dm7 Am |
[Verse]
One day a Amfriend took me aside
and said, "I have to Dmleave 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
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
Am(9)Kids in Texas, Dm7(6)smoking grass, Am(9)ten year sentence, Emcomes to E7pass.
Am(9)Misdemeanor Dm7(6)in Ann Arbor, Am(9)ask the judges Emwhy? Dm7 Am
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
| Am | Dm | Am | Em E7 |
| Am | Dm7 | Am Em | Dm7 Am |
