LAm
One day a friend took me aside
REm
and said, "I have to leave you.
LAm
For buying something from a friend
MIm MI7
They say I have done wrong.
LAm
For protecting the name of a man
REm7
they say I'll have to leave you.
LAm MIm REm7 LAm
So now I'm bidding you farewell for much too long.
LAm REm7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.
LAm MIm MI7
If he can hear you sing it's an open door.
LAm REm7
There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
LAm MIm REm7 LAm
and buy the freedom, that's a high price for the poor.

I guess I did wrong.

And although I did the best I could

I'm gonna have to leave you.
LAm MIm REm7 LAm
So now I'm kissing you farewell for much too long.
LAm REm7
And here's a song to sing for every man inside.

There's not a rich man there who couldn't pay his way
