FREEDOM NOW- Tracy Chapman
G (2 fr.) G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G G(2) G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G
G (2 fr.) 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 fr.) G6+9 G(2) G6 G G/C G
That his body and spirit would waste away and soon after that his mind
[C]But every day is born a f[G]ool,[C] one who thinks that he can r[G]ule
[C]One who says tomorrow's m[G]ine,[C] one who wakes one day to f[D]ind
G (2 fr.) 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 fr[F]ee, f[D]ree, free, f[G]ree[G/C] [G]
Everybody sing we're fr[F]ee, f[D]ree, free, f[G]ree[G/C] [G]
Everybody sing we're fr[F]ee, f[D]ree, free, f[G]ree[G/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:
[C]Soon must come the day [G]oh when the righteous have their way
[Em]Unjustly tried are free [B]oh and people live in peace I say
[C]Give the man release, [G]oh go on and set your conscience free
[Em]Right the wrongs you made, [B]oh even a fool can have his d[C]ay[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:
F[C]ree our bodies, free our m[G]inds, free our hearts
[Em]Freedom for everyon[B]e, and freedom now
[C] [G] Oh freedom n[Em]ow, freedom n[B]ow, freedom n[C]ow[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
G (2 fr.) 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
