Cry Freedom chords by Dave Matthews Band

Verse 1:

E
How can I turn away

E
Brother/Sister go dancing

E
Through my head

E
Human as to human

E
The future is no place

A     G#m F#m  E
To place your better days

Chorus:

Bm      A
Cry freedom, cry

A             C#m
From a crowd ten thousand wide

   Bm    A
Hope laid upon hope

A            C#m   Bm
That this crowd will not subside

       A
Let this flag burn to dust

         C#m        Bm
And a new a fair design be raised

           A
While we wait head in hands,

A
Hands in prayer

A                C#m
And fall into a dreamless sleep again

    E
And we wave our hands

A           E
Hands and feet are all alike

E
But gold between divide us

A           E
Hands and feet are all alike

E
But fear between divide us

A  G#m    F#m E
All slip away

Verse 2:

Bm         A
There was a window and by it stood

A
A mirror in which

       C#m   Bm
He could see himself

         A
He thought of something

A
Something he had never had but

C#m           Bm
Hoped would come along

Chorus:

Bm      A
Cry freedom, cry

A
From deep inside

A          C#m  Bm
Where we are all confined

       A       C#m
While we wave hands in fire

E
Wave our hands

A           E
Hands and feet are all alike

E
But gold between divide us

A           E
Hands and feet are all alike

E
But fear between divide us,

A  G#m  F#m E
Slip away

Verse 3:

Bm          A
In this room stood a little child

A
And in this room this little child

     C#m   Bm
She would remain

       A
Until someone might decide

A
To dance this little child

      C#m Bm
Across this hall

Bm
Into a cold, dark, space

A
Where she might never trace her

            C#m
Way across this crooked mile

             Bm
Across this crooked page

Chorus:

Bm      A
Cry freedom, cry

A
From deep inside where

       C#m
We are all confined

E
Till we wave our hands

A           E
How can I turn away

         Bm   E
Brother/Sister go dancing

      A
Through my head

      E
Human as to human

         A
The future is no place

  E     F#m  E
To place your better days

Hands and feet are all alike

But gold between divide us

A            E
Hands and feet are all alike

E
But fear between divide us

A       E
Hands and feet are all alike

      A
Hear what I say

A
Hear what I say

E        A   E A E
Oh, so be it

A           E
How can I turn away
