[Intro]
A D x3
[Verse 1]
D G D Why is he cussin' and callin' disgustin' The city that is now his home? D G D He never smiles or keeps up with styles He is black and he is all alone A And you ask why he's this way Well brother you're too blind to see D G D It's 'cause Ellis Dee ain't free like you and me
[Verse 2]
D G D Get out of the street don't get high on my beat Go on home the policeman warns D G D Just 'cause you're poor why do you declare war?I can't help the way that you were born A Why are they holdin' him down? He's spending his life on his knees D G D 'Cause Ellis Dee ain't free like you and me
[Chorus]
D Got to help Ellis D Got to help Ellis D G A You know we got to help Ellis, Ellis Dee D G A Try and help Ellis, you and me D G A Got to get to Ellis, hear his plea C A D Try and help Ellis get free
[Verse 3]
D G D Ellis got hooked, he got booked and he shook In his cold little shivery cell D G D While out on the street in that same funky beat Mister pusher was doing well A And Ellis junior cries tears his daddy can't see D G D 'Cause Ellis Dee ain't free like you and me
[Chorus]
D Got to help Ellis D Got to help Ellis D G A You know we got to help Ellis, Ellis Dee D G A Try and help Ellis, you and me D G A Got to get to Ellis, hear his plea C A D Try and help Ellis get free
[Outro]
D G D 'Cause Ellis Dee ain't free like you and me D G D No Ellis Dee ain't free like you and me
