[Intro]
| Am | Dm | Am | Em E7 |
| Am | Dm7 | Am Em | Dm7 Am |
[Verse]
Am
One day a friend took me aside
Dm
and said, "I have to leave you.
Am
For buying something from a friend
Em E7
They say I have done wrong.
Am
For protecting the name of a man
Dm7
they say I'll have to leave you.
Am Em Dm7 Am
So now I'm bidding you farewell for much too long.
[Chorus]
Am Dm7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
Am Em E7
If he can hear you sing it's an open door.
Am Dm7
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
Am Em Dm7 Am
and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.
[Interlude]
Am(9) Dm7(6) Am(9) Em E7
Kids in Texas, smoking grass, ten year sentence, comes to pass.
Am(9) Dm7(6) Am(9) Em Dm7 Am
Misdemeanor in Ann Arbor, ask the judges why?
[Verse]
Am
Another friend said to her kids
Dm
I'm gonna have to leave you
Am
For selling something to the man
Em E7
I guess I did wrong.
Am
And although I did the best I could
Dm7
I'm gonna have to leave you.
Am Em Dm7 Am
So now I'm kissing you farewell for much too long.
[Chorus]
Am Dm7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
Am Em E7
If he can hear you sing it's an open door.
Am Dm7
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
Am Em Dm7 Am7
and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.
[Outro]
| Am | Dm | Am | Em E7 |
| Am | Dm7 | Am Em | Dm7 Am |
