E F#m A

[Verse 1]
E                            F#m
Cold water glasses sweating, Sunday papers turning
A                 F#m
Pages on verandas in the southern mind
E                     F#m
Early summer peaches, honeysuckle vines
A                       F#m
All them Georgia voters stood in all-day lines

[Chorus]
A G#m       C#m     D
Ooooh, tell me he's not free, is he?
A G#m       C#m     D
Ooooh, tell me he's not free

[Verse 2]
E                       F#m
Eight o'clock arriving, quiet 15 after
A                     F#m
Elementary classrooms all across the south
E                  F#m
On the television, murdered by a policeman
A                     F#m
Pledges of allegiance come from baby's mouths

[Chorus]
A G#m       C#m     D
Ooooh, tell me he's not free, is he?
A G#m       C#m     D        C#m
Ooooh, tell me he's not free

[Bridge]
C#m G#m              A    F#m         C#m
You say the old ways died long time ago
       G#m              A        F#m        A
If you say the old ways died, you lied, you know

[Chorus]
A G#m       C#m     D
Ooooh, tell me he's not free, is he?
A G#m       C#m     D
Ooooh, tell me he's not free
A G#m       C#m     D
Ooooh, tell me he's not free, is he?
A G#m       C#m     D
Ooooh, tell me he's not free
