I Shall Be Released

[Verso 1]
 
E                              F#m 
 They say everything can be replaced 
G#m        A              E 
 Yet every distance is not near 
E                    F#m 
 So I remember every face 
G#m        A             E 
 Of every man who put me here. 
 


[Refrão]
 
E                     F#m 
 I see my light come shining 
G#m        A            E 
 From the west unto the east. 
 E 
  Any day now, 
 F#m 
  Any day now, 
G#m   A        E 
  I shall be released 
 


[Verso 2]
 
E                             F#m 
 They say every man needs protection. 
G#m            A              E 
 They say that every man must fall. 
E                         F#m 
 Yet I swear I see my reflection, 
G#m           A               E 
 Someplace so high above this wall. 
 


[Refrão]
 
E                     F#m 
 I see my light come shining 
G#m        A            E 
 From the west unto the east. 
 E 
  Any day now, 
 F#m 
  Any day now, 
G#m    A       E 
  I shall be released 
 


[Verso 3]
 
E                             F#m 
 Down here next to me in this lonely crowd 
G#m          A                 E 
Is a man who swears he's not to blame. 
E                         F#m 
 All day long I hear him cry out so loud, 
G#m      A                   E 
 Calling out that he's been framed. 
 


[Refrão]
 
E                     F#m 
 I see my light come shining 
G#m        A            E 
 From the west unto the east. 
 E 
  Any day now, 
 F#m 
  Any day now, 
G#m    A       E 
  I shall be released
