[Verse 1]
D G D
I got rid of the shackles that bound me
A7
And the guards who were always around me
D G D G
Like a bird in the tree, I've found my liberty
D A D
And I'm free from the chain gang now
[Verse 2]
G D
Long ago I was known and respected
A7
Then one day I was falsely suspected
D G D G
And they put me in chains, working out in the rains
D A D
But I'm free from the chain gang now

[Verse 3]
G D
I know my mother's poor heart was broken
A7
'Cause she knew that an untruth was spoken
D G D G
There were tears on the mail, that she sent me in jail
D A7 D
But I'm free from the chain gang now
[Verse 4]
G D
All the years I was known by a number
A
Were just years that I spent without slumber
D G D G
After long years of shame, I have won back my name
D A D
And I'm free from the chain gang now

[Verse 5]
G D
Now I'm going back home to another
A
She's my sweetheart who's waiting with mother
D G D G
And I'll dry all the tears, that's been shedding for years
D A D
'Cause I'm free from the chain gang now
