E                            F#m
They say everything can be replaced  

G#m             A               E
 They say every distance is not near 

                    F#m
So I remember every face  

G#m       A              E   B7
 Of every man who put me here

E                    F#m
 I see my light come shining 

G#m       A                E
 From the west down to the east  

            F#m
Any day now,   any day now 

G#m  A          E
 I   shall be released 

E                           F#m
They say every man needs protection 

G#m                  A        E
 They say that every man must fall 

                       F#m
Yet I swear I see my reflection 

G#m           A               E   B7
 Somewhere so high above this wall 

E                    F#m
 I see my light come shining 

G#m       A                E
 From the west down to the east  

            F#m
Any day now,   any day now 

G#m  A          E
 I   shall be released 

E                                      F#m
Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd  

G#m        A                  E
 A man who swears he's not to blame  

                        F#m
All day long I hear him shouting so loud  

G#m          A               E     B7
 Just crying out that he was framed

E                    F#m
 I see my light come shining 

G#m       A                E
 From the west down to the east  

            F#m
Any day now,   any day now 

G#m  A          E
 I   shall be released 

            F#m
Any day now,   any day now 

G#m  A          E
 I   shall be released
