[Verse 1]
I hear the [D]children play
With the guards of the [Em]jail
With the guards of the jail
With the guards of the [D]jail

[Verse 2]
I'm [D]thinking of a new name
That I could give my[Em]self
One day I'll be myself
Woh, (one day) I'll [D]be my own

[Verse 3]
It's been [D]forty long years
(In the desert) in the
deser[Em]t I've been
I've even hit the devil's nose
In the desert I have [D]grown

[Verse 4]
(And as the [D]woman said)
That day when I was crying [Em]out
God puts his diamonds in the sand

[Verse 5]
But then he always takes them back
[D]Have a good day, brother
Me an' your sis[G]ter will rise up
Like an elephant from the [A]mud
In your carefree sleep, we will [Bm]brake free

[Verse 6]
We will brake free
[D]Have a good day, brother
Me an' your [G]little bro' will rise up
Like an elephant from [A]the storm
In your carefree sleep, we [Em]will brake [Bm]free
We will brake [D]free

[Verse 7]
And [D]the city will be reborn
And the streets will [Em]be washed
May the streets be clean and washed
Woh (may the streets be
[D]clean) woh (and washed)

[Verse 8]
And we will wave our hand
And everybody will forgive [Em]the past
And everybody will forgive the past
Wow (And everybody will) wow
[D](forgive the past)

[Verse 9]
And as the [D]woman said
That day when I was crying [Em]out
God puts his diamonds in the sand

[Verse 10]
But then he always takes them back
[D]Have a good day, brother
Me an' your sis[G]ter will rise up
Like an elephant from [A]the mud
In your carefree sleep, we will [Bm]brake free

[Verse 11]
We will brake free
[D]Have a good day, brother
You an' my [G]little bro' will rise up
Like an elephant from [A]the storm
In your carefree sleep, we [Bm]will brake free
We will brake [G]free

[Verse 12]

Me an' your sis[G]ter will rise up
Like an elephant from the [A]mud
In your carefree sleep we [Bm]will brake free

We will brake free
[D]Have a good day, brother
You an' my [G]little bro' will rise up

In [D]the break[A] fast tea, we wi[Bm]ll brake free
