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]
They th[G(2)]rowed him in [G6+9]jail and they [G(2)]kept him t[G6]here [G]ho[G/C]ping soon he'd d[G]ie
That his [G(2)]body and s[G6+9]pirit would [G(2)]waste aw[G6]ay and [G]so[G/C]on after that his m[G]ind
[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
The p[G(2)]rison doors [G6+9]open, the sh[G(2)]ackles b[G6]roken and [G]ch[G/C]aos in the st[G]reet

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

Let us all be f[G(2)]ree [G6+9] [G(2)] [G6] [G] [G/C] [G] Let us all be [G(2)]free[G6+9][G(2)][G6][G][G/C][G]
