Intro: [Fig.1] [Fig.2] [Fig.1b] [ext.] [Fig.1] It aint fair John Sinclair in the stir for breathing air [Fig.2] Wont you care for John Sinclair in the stir for breathing air [Fig.1b] Let him be set him free let him be like you and me [ext.] [Fig.3] They gave him ten for two what else can the judges do [Fig.4] We got to… set him [Fig.5] Free Repeat above sequence for all verses and interludes. NOTE: There are a few little variations, but they’re all based Upon the main Figs. Remember that when playing with a slide in open tuning,it isn’t esential to hitth notes exactly all the time; it’s okay to catch neighbouring strings too. Don’t be too fussy with it. Be a bit scruffy. Finally, if you prefer, in place of Fig.3, you can just strum a B and A at the 7th and 5th respectively.
