[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?

Ooooh, tell me he's not free
