        Em  D  C  G  D  
        Em  D  C  G  D  
  
Verse 1:  
Em                           D 
   There's a calmness to the air outside 
C                          G                 D 
   Watch the sun color the sight of a morning?sky 
Em                            D 
   But?all I see?are clouds of darkest gray 
C                            G                D 
   A full?eclipse to veil the start of another day 
  
( Em  D  C  G  D ) 
  
 Verse 2: 
Em                          D 
   Hear the laughter as the children smile 
C                           G                  D 
   Hold a newborn close and dream for a little while 
Em                               D 
   But all I hear is Death knock at my door 
C                                G              D 
   And think of painful journeys our young must endure 
  
  
       Em     D 
Set me free tonight 
       C      G  D 
Set me free tonight 
       Em     D

Verse 3:  
Em                           D 
   Touch the water with your own two hands 
C                             G                  D 
   Let the freedom bell bring calm to a troubled land 
Em                           D 
   But all I feel are my two feet in chains 
C                           G                   D 
   I know the system, but I can't figure out the game
