C                                         Dm 
They say everything can be replaced 
 Em             Dm              C 
That every distance is not near 
                              Dm 
So I remember every face 
 Em        Dm                      C 
Of every man who's put me here 
           C                        Dm 
I see my light come shining 
   Em      Dm     G        C 
From the west um to the east 
                     Dm 
Any Day now, any way now 
 Em    Dm     C 
I shall be released 
      C                                         Dm 
They say every man needs protection 
 Em             Dm              C 
That every man must rise and fall 
                                   Dm 
Yet I swear I seem y reflection 
 Em             Dm              C 
Some where so high above this wall 
Chorus 
C                                         Dm 
Yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd 
 Em             Dm              C 
A man whos wear she's not to blame 
                                           Dm 
All Day long I hear him shouting so loud 
 Em             Dm              C 
He's crying out tha the was framed 
           C                        Dm 
I see my light come shining 
   Em      Dm     G        C 
From the west unto the east 
                     Dm 
Any Day now, any way now 
 Em    Dm     C 
I shall be released 
                          Dm 
Any Day now, any way now 
 Em    Dm     C 
I shall be released
