SOL RE
I woke up this morning,
DO LAm
There were tears in my bed.
SOL RE
They killed a man I really loved,
DO LAm
Shot him through the head.
SOL RE DO LAm
Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down.
SOL RE DO SOL
Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground.
Sent him off to prison,
For a seventy dollar robbery.
Closed the door behind him,
And they threw away the key.
Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down.
Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground
He wouldn't take *** from noone,
He wouldn't bow down or kneel.
The authorities they hated him,
Beacuse he was just too real.
Lord Lord so they cut George Jackson down.
Lord Lord they laid him in the ground.
The prison guards they cursed him,
As they watched him from above.
But they were frightened of his power,
They were scared of his love.
Lord, Lord they cut George Jackson down.
Lord, Lord they laid him in the ground.
Sometimes I think this whole world,
Is one big prison yard.
Some of us are prisoners,
The rest of us are guards.
Lord Lord they cut George Jackson down.
Lord Lord they laid him in the ground.
