FREEDOM NOW- Tracy Chapman
G G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G G(2) G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G
G G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G
They throwed him in jail and they kept him there hoping soon he'd die
G G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G
That his body and spirit would waste away and soon after that his mind
CBut every day is born a fGool,C one who thinks that he can rGule
COne who says tomorrow's mGine,C one who wakes one day to fDind
G G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G
The prison doors open, the shackles broken and chaos in the street
CHORUS #1:
Everybody sing we're frFee, fDree, free, fGreeG/C G
Everybody sing we're frFee, fDree, free, fGreeG/C G
Everybody sing we're frFee, fDree, free, fGreeG/C G
They throwed him in jail and they kept him there hoping his memory'd die
That the people forget how he once led and fought for justice in their lives
But every day is born a man who hates what he can't understand
Who thinks the answer is to kill, who thinks his actions are God's will
CHORUS #2:
And he thinks he's free, free, free, free
Yes he thinks he's free, free, free, free
Oh he thinks he's free, free, free, free
BRIDGE:
CSoon must come the day Goh when the righteous have their way
EmUnjustly tried are free Boh and people live in peace I say
CGive the man release, Goh go on and set your conscience free
EmRight the wrongs you made, Boh even a fool can have his dCay G C G
CHORUS #3:
Let us all be free, free, free, free
Let us all be free, free, free, free
Let us all be free, free, free, free C G C G
BRIDGE #2:
FCree our bodies, free our mGinds, free our hearts
EmFreedom for everyonBe, and freedom now
