A                     Bm             A
Let somebody tell the hard luck story

F#m                    E
About a man named Jack McDuff

A                      Bm
He believed in the God and the glory

F#m                      E
But he just wasn't tough enough
[Chorus]
A
I believe in the freedom song

F#m            E
Long live liberty!

A                Bm
I believe in the freedom song

F#m                    E
And I'll choose my own destiny
[Interlude] D A D A [Verse 2]
A                      Bm
Well they took him and they beat him

F#m                   E
Underneath the old hanging tree

A              Bm
Saying, "Jack, you must die"

F#m                     E
"What will your last words be?"
[Verse 3]
A                         Bm
Jack, he hung his head back

F#m               E
"Long live liberty!"

A                 Bm
"I believe in the freedom song"

F#m                             E
"Doesn't matter what you do to me"

A                      Bm
With a rope around his neck they left him hanging

F#m          E
High on that old hanging tree

A                Bm
On her knees his wife was screaming

F#m               E
"Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy"
[Chorus]
A
I believe in the freedom song

F#m         E
Long live liberty!

A
I believe in the freedom song

F#m                     E
Doesn't matter what you do to me
[Outro] D A D A D A D E A D E D A
