[Verse]
Am One day a friend took me aside Dm and said, "I have to leave you. Am For buying something from a friend Em E7 They say I have done wrong. Am For protecting the name of a man Dm7 they say I'll have to leave you. Am Em Dm7 Am So now I'm bidding you farewell for much too long.
[Chorus]
Am Dm7 And here's a song to sing for every man inside. Am Em E7 If he can hear you sing it's an open door. Am Dm7 There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way Am Em Dm7 Am and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.
[Interlude]
Am(9) Dm7(6) Am(9) Em E7
Kids in Texas, smoking grass, ten year sentence, comes to pass.
Am(9) Dm7(6) Am(9) Em Dm7 Am
Misdemeanor in Ann Arbor, ask the judges why?
[Verse]
Am Another friend said to her kids Dm I'm gonna have to leave you Am For selling something to the man Em E7 I guess I did wrong. Am And although I did the best I could Dm7 I'm gonna have to leave you. Am Em Dm7 Am So now I'm kissing you farewell for much too long.
[Chorus]
Am Dm7 And here's a song to sing for every man inside. Am Em E7 If he can hear you sing it's an open door. Am Dm7 There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way Am Em Dm7 Am7 and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.
