It isn't ^Cnice to block the doorway It isn't ^Gnice to go to jail There are ^Cnicer ways to do it But the ^Gnice ways always fail It isn't ^Cnice, ^Emit isn't ^Amnice You told us ^Dmonce, you told us ^Gtwice But if ^Cthat is ^FFreedom's ^Cprice ^GWe don't ^Cmi^Fnd^C

[Verse]

^GIt isn't ^Cnice to carry banners Or to ^Gsit in on the floor Or to ^Cshout our cry of Freedom At the ^Ghotel and the store It isn't ^Cnice, ^Emit isn't ^Amnice You told us ^Dmonce, you told us ^Gtwice But if ^Cthat is ^FFreedom's ^Cprice ^GWe don't ^Cmi^Fnd^C

[Verse]

^GWe have ^Ctried negotiations And the ^Gthree-man picket line Mr. ^CCharlie didn't see us And he ^Gmight as well be blind Now our ^Cnew ways ^Emaren't ^Amnice When we ^Dmdeal with men of ^Gice But if ^Cthat is ^FFreedom's ^Cprice ^GWe don't ^Cmi^Fnd^C

[Verse]

^GIt isn't ^Cnice to block the doorway It isn't ^Gnice to go to jail There are ^Cnicer ways to do it But the ^Gnice ways always fail It isn't ^Cnice, ^Emit isn't ^Amnice But ^Dmthanks for your ad^Gvice Cause if ^Cthat is ^FFreedom's ^Cprice ^GWe don't ^Cmind, ^Fwe don't ^Cmind
