[Fm] Free [Cm] people [Fm] are free, [Cm] how can a fee [Bb] [G] enslave [Cm] us?
[Fm] See [Cm] how we can [Fm] be [Cm] free from the chains he [G] gave [Fm] us.
We're [Ab] suffering now, [D] such lives [Cm] of sorrow.
[Ab]
Don't give [Cm] us tomorrow, [G] just give us [C] today.
[Fm] Free [Ab] people are free, how can [Fm] a fee [Cm] enslave us?
See how we can be [Bb] free from the chains [Eb] he [Gm] gave [Cm] us.
We're [Eb] suffering now, [Ab] such lives of [Eb] [Ab] sorrow.
[Cm] Don't give us tomorrow, just give [C] us today.
[G] _
From _ _ _ every _ [Cm] _
[Ab] hill, [G] _ [Cm] every [Ab] steeple, [Fm] ring out the anthem of [Eb] the people.
[D] Making a new [Cm] way, making the clouds of grey [Fm] to _ sing [Cm] [Bb] of_
[Ab] _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ Sing of [Bb] today!
[Ab] _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ A [Fm] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ little _ _ [Bb] brutality [C] is exactly what these people need.
[Ab] Officer [Cm] Loxtah!
Daddy, wait!
He only wants _ me!
Happy, you say?
Happy?
_ _ So you want happy Mr.
Strong?
[Cm] Did you say happy Mr.
Strong?
[Fm] If they beat a day, I'm sure [Cm] they'll be as happy as a pup.
[Fm] With no rules and no more fees to [Cm] pay, things would be looking up.
[Fm] But too bad the water that we share [Cm] could fit inside a cup.
[Ab] Tomorrow, [G] _
[Cm] Mr.
Strong.
But what of today?
[Dbm] But what of tomorrow, Mr.
[Ab] Strong?
[Dbm] Think of tomorrow, Mr.
Strong.
[Gbm] Our resources are as fragile [Dbm] as a newborn baby's skull.
[Gbm] With your actions, you would gut the child [Dbm] and leave a lifeless hull.
[Gbm] Could it be you're so short-sighted, [Dbm] so insensitive, so dull?
Think [Gbm] of tomorrow, [Ab]
Mr.
[Db] Strong.
But what of today?
_ [F] You [A] _
[Dm] are wrong, Mr.
Strong.
You and your socialistic fun.
[Gm] If the people need for freedom, push [Dm] the system to the brink.
If [Gm] today is merely tell us how, [Dm] [D] tomorrow will not sink.
If [Gm] it's you and me now, Mr.
Strong, [Dm] which one of us will flee?
[Gm] I say it's you, Mr.
[Dm] Strong, or on the subject of tomorrow, [A] you!
Ah!
[Dm] Maybe _ [D] _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ [A] _ [Cm] for the same reason you didn't tell me you are a cladwell.
So you can join us, or you can stand aside.
Mommy, think of the brink.
You'll be arrested soon, perhaps as soon [C] as noon.
[Ab] And I can never bear to [Dm] see you taken where [G] the guilty fears meet, [Cm] the toy of judgment's ease.
You said [Fm] to follow [G] your heart.
[Cm] Here's [Eb] where my [Ab] heart leads.
Now [D] I'll do [G] my part [Cm] to banish all need.
[Fm] Made me [G] to see _ [Cm] _ [Bb] fantastically [Ab]
clear.
[D] When people [G] need free, need [Cm] nothing to fear.
Give up now, we'll [Fm] find a way somehow [C] to help us evolve.
We've got a [Eb] hefty, heavy, [Ab] heavy pot and you must resist [D] being an anophite.
My [G] father's men will see you're sent [Cm] away from [Fm] me.
You can go to retire.
_ Mommy, [Cm] you can go to retire.
[Eb] _ [Ab] I'll go to retire.
[D] You can go to [C] retire.
You _ _ _ pick the fights you can't [Cm] win today, Mr.
Strong.
[F] Your rabble is [C] no match for my men.
You can punish.
_ [Cm] _
_ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ Punishment [Gm] is all you'll ever know.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
You must have the power to make a difference.
You are very much [Bb] to throw.
[Ab] You must have the power to make a [Dm] difference.
You are very much to throw.
[G] I will give you a [C] revolution.
_ Mommy, please go to [Ab]
retirement.
[F] _ [C] You have [Bb] wasted [Ab] my _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ deeds.
[C]
I will give you redemption.
_ _ [Fm] He's on [Cm] fire, he's heart [Eb] is [Ab] unshown.
[D] He burns like a [G] fire, [C] take it all at once.
You [Fm] can go to retire.
You can _ [Cm] go to retire.
Your lives are [Fm] so fraught.
You can go [Ab] to retire.
[D] _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
Oh [Cm] Bobby, they'll never let you leave now!
Not without you they won't, which is why you're coming with us!
How can I come with you?
And not [C] against my father _ _ _ _ [G] unless.unless.oh. dear God! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
