I Shall Be Released

[Verse]  
[A]                              [Bm]  
 They say everything can be replaced  
[C#m]        [D]        [E]      [A]  
 Yet every distance is not near  
[A]                    [Bm]  
 So I remember every face  
[C#m]        [D]       [E]      [A]  
 Of every man who put me here.  

[Chorus]  
[A]                     [Bm]  
 I see my light come shining  
[C#m]        [D]      [E]      [A]  
 From the west unto the east.  
[A]  
  Any day now,  
[Bm]  
  Any day now,  
[C#m]       [D]      [A]  
  I shall be released  

[Verse]  
[A]                             [Bm]  
 They say every man needs protection.  
[C#m]            [D]     [E]         [A]  
 They say that every man must fall.  
[A]                         [Bm]  
 Yet I swear I see my reflection,  
[C#m]           [D]      [E]         [A]  
 Someplace so high above this wall.  

[Chorus]  
[A]                     [Bm]  
 I see my light come shining  
[C#m]        [D]      [E]      [A]  
 From the west unto the east.  
[A]  
  Any day now,  
[Bm]  
  Any day now,  
[C#m]       [D]      [A]  
  I shall be released  

[Verse]  
[A]                             [Bm]  
 Down here next to me in this lonely crowd  
[C#m]          [D]           [E]      [A]  
 Is a man who swears he's not to blame.  
[A]                         [Bm]  
 All day long I hear him cry out so loud,  
[C#m]      [D]          [E]         [A]  
 Calling out that he's been framed.  

[Chorus]  
[A]                     [Bm]  
 I see my light come shining  
[C#m]        [D]      [E]      [A]  
 From the west unto the east.  
[A]  
  Any day now,  
[Bm]  
  Any day now,  
[C#m]       [D]      [A]  
  I shall be released
