Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Free The People
(Chorus)
| C | G | C | G |
| Free | the | people , | let them have their | say |
| C | G | C | D | G |
| Free the | people | let them | see the light of | day |
| G |
| The | dismal dawn was breaking |
| Em |
| When they | took her man away |
| C | D |
| Not | knowing what was his | crime |
| G |
| Just | what was he guilty of |
| Em |
| Not | one of them could say |
| C | D | G |
| But | they'll think of | something in | time |
| C | G |
| He | says goodbye and re | members |
Comforting her children
Softly crying in the night
She tried very hard to explane
You know your daddy never did a thing
That wasn't right
So soon he's bound to be home again
He is a good man
And we shall overcome
What does it profit him
The right to be born
If he suffers the loss of liberty
Lawas were made for people
And the law can never scorn
The right of a man to be free
We are the people
And we shall overcome
We are the people
And we shall overcome
