I Shall Be Released (words and music by Bob Dylan. On Joan Baez's double-disc album "Any Day Now.")
C Dm
They say everything can be replaced
Em F G7 C
They say every distance is not near,
C Dm
But I remember every face
Em F G7 C
Of every man who put me here.
[Refrão]
C Dm
I see my light come shining
Em F G7 C
From the west out to the east.
C Dm
Any day now, any day now
E F G7 C
I shall be released.
Chorus
They say every man needs protection,
They say that every man must fall,
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall.
Chorus
Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd,
A man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him shouting so loud;
He's crying out that he was framed.
Chorus
