_ _ _ [C] He cheers for the innocent, [F] though he [C] is a louse. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Three screams from [Am] the hangman as [Bb] he _ [F] cries for the _ hearse. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] I weep for the rebels, _ [F] _
conventional [C] _ _ things. _

Though your minds have [Am] been whipped [Bb] by _ _ [F] experienced hands. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] I wish we were children, _ [F] I'd welcome [C] the shame. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
But a man _ [Am] _ _
_ [Bb] can [F] be a _ race, _ _ _ _ _ [G] and it's _ great. _ _ _ _
