Freedom Now

FREEDOM NOW- Tracy Chapman

G(2) G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G G(2) G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G

G(2) 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(2) G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G

That his body and spirit would waste away and soon after that his mind

But every day is born a fool, one who thinks that he can rule

One who says tomorrow's mine, one who wakes one day to find

G(2) 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 free, free, free, free

Everybody sing we're free, free, free, free

Everybody sing we're free, free, free, free

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

Soon must come the day oh when the righteous have their way

Unjustly tried are free oh and people live in peace I say

Give the man release, oh go on and set your conscience free

Right the wrongs you made, oh even a fool can have his day

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:

Free our bodies, free our minds, free our hearts

Freedom for everyone, and freedom now

Oh freedom now, freedom now, freedom now

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

G(2) G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G G(2) G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G

Let us all be free Let us all be free
