Simple song of freedom

   C                        G                       C 
Come and sing a simple song of freedom, 
 F                                                C 
sing it like you've never sung before. 
 G                                  Am 
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere, 
 F                       G                           C 
we, the people here, don't want a war. 
 
      C                           G                            C 
1. Hey there, Mister Black Man, can you hear me, 
    F                                                       C 
    I don't want your diamonds or your game. 
    G                                         Am 
    I just want to be someone known to you as me, 
           F                  G                         C 
    and I will bet my life you want the same.             
 
+ CHORUS
 
       C                      G                     C 
2. Seven hundred million, are you listening, 
       F                                                  C 
    most of what you read is made of lies. 
               G                                     Am 
    But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun, 
           F                    G                         C 
    to wake to in the morning when we rise.              
 
+ CHORUS
 
        C                   G                     C 
3. Brother Solzhenitsyn, are you busy?
         F                                               C 
    If not, won't you drop this friend a line.
      G                                     Am 
    Tell me if the man who is plowin' up your land,
            F                  G                          C 
    has got the war machine upon his mind?
 
+ CHORUS
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
              C                               G                  C 
4. Now, no doubt, some folks enjoy doing battle, 
             F                                               C 
    like presidents, prime ministers and kings. 
      G                                                                  Am 
So let’s all build them shelves, where they can fight among themselves, 
             F                        G                      C 
    and leave the people be who love to sing.               
 
   C                        G                       C 
Come and sing a simple song of freedom, 
 F                                                C 
sing it like you've never sung before. 
 G                                  Am 
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere, 
 F                       G                           C 
we, the people here, don't want a war. 
 
              G                                Am
    I say, let it fill the air, tellin’ people everywhere,
     F                       G                             F - C
    we, the people here, don't want a wa.......r.
