Band, The
Music From Big Pink
I Shall Be Released
E f#m
They say everything can be replaced
G#m a b e
They say every distance is not near
F#m
So i remember every face
G#m a b e b
Of every man who put me here
(chorus:)
E f#m
I see my light come shinin'
G#m a b e
From the west unto the east
F#m
Any day now, any day now
G#m a b e
I shall be released
They say ev'ry man needs protection
They say that ev'ry man must fall
Yet i swear i see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
(chorus)
Now yonder standing there in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long i hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he was framed
(chorus)
