G C G
I got rid of the shackles that bound me
G G/C D
and the guards that were always around me
G C G
There were tears on the mail mother wrote me in jail
G G/Dish G
But I'm free from the chain gang now
G C G
All the years I was known and respected
G G/C D
'til one day I was wrongly suspected
G C G
I was shackled in chains in a cold freezin' rain
G G/Dish G
but I'm free from the chain gang now
[Guitar]
G C G
All the years I was known by a number
G G/C D
how I kept my mind is a wonder
G C G
But like a bird in a tree I got my liberty
G G/Dish G
and I'm free from the chain gang now
G C G
I got rid of the shackles that bound me
G G/C D
and the guards that were always around me
G C G
There were tears on the mail mother sent me in jail
G G/Dish G
But I'm free from the chain gang now
G C G
There were tears on the mail mother sent me in jail
G G/Dish G
But I'm free from the chain gang now
