I got r[G]id of the shac[C]kles that bound [G]me
And the guards that were alw[A]ays around [D]me
There w[G]ere tears on the m[C]ail mother se[G]nd me in ja[C]il
But I'm f[G]ree from the ch[D]ain gang n[G]ow
Back ho[G]me I was kn[C]own and respe[G]cted
Than one day I was wro[A]ngly susp[D]ected
So they p[G]ut me in cha[C]ins in a co[G]ld freezin’ [C]rain
But I'm fr[G]ee from the ch[D]ain gang n[G]ow

A[G]ll the years I was kn[C]own by a num[G]ber
How I kept my m[A]ind is a won[D]der
And the bare pri[G]son cell th[C]at was one st[G]ep from he[C]ll
But I'm fr[G]ee from the ch[D]ain gang n[G]ow
I’ll pray that the g[C]ossip will spare[G] me
When I return to the o[A]ne I will mar[D]ried
Like a b[G]ird in a tr[C]ee I got my libe[G]rty
And I'm fr[G]ee from the ch[D]ain gang n[G]ow
