B                         E         B
Lots of people walk about proud and free

Lift up your head start looking around
B                             E     B
There's a brandnew feeling of liberty
C#m           B           F#          B
Like a clear bell that's starting to sound

Lots of smiling faces for you to meet

So many hands to help you along
B                                  E         B
Just shake off the mud that weighs down your feet

Years of picking cotton for little pay
C#m    B        F#          B
Living alone in some wooden shack
B                         E        B
Sweating in the heat of a summer's day
C#m         B     F#             B
