                         Bm7   E7...
Night, is the time, for the hunger
Through these rooms, you and I, we wander
Too much, too long, holdin' back the tears
I wait, do hard labor, and I count the tears
Chorus:
GHey, soon the F#angels, will unlock the sunBm7  
GBreak away these F#chains, yeah and turn Eaway the gun
       Bm  Bm/                D  E7  
Nothing, is better, than the freedom, yeah
Nothing, is better, than the freedom
Let the law, take a man, from his family
See the evil, on the fences, down the highway
Too bad (B.V. too bad), so sad (B.V. so sad), to be on the lam
From my home, I must crawl, on my knees and hands
Chorus:
(repeat Nothing, is better... 4 times)

Nothing, is better, than the freedom

Bm7 E7

...

Night, is the time, for the hunger

Through these rooms, you and I, we wander

Too much, too long, holdin' back the tears

I wait, do hard labor, and I count the tears

Chorus:

Hey, soon the angels, will unlock the sun

G F# E

Break away these chains, yeah and turn away the gun

Bm Bm D E7

Nothing, is better, than the freedom, yeah

Nothing, is better, than the freedom

Let the law, take a man, from his family

See the evil, on the fences, down the highway

Too bad (B.V. too bad), so sad (B.V. so sad), to be on the lam

From my home, I must crawl, on my knees and hands
