Cold water glasses sweating, Sunday papers turning

Ooooh, tell me he's not free, is he?
E D#m G#m A
Ooooh, tell me he's not free
[Verse 2]

Eight o'clock arriving, quiet 15 after
E C#m
Elementary classrooms all across the south

On the television, murdered by a policeman
E C#m
Pledges of allegiance come from baby's mouths
[Chorus]

Ooooh, tell me he's not free, is he?

Ooooh, tell me he's not free
