Seven Long Years

       E          D     E              G         E   D E G
I been seven long years workin' on the hard rock pile
       A          G     A              C         A   G A C
I been seven long years workin' on the hard rock pile
         B
And if I get to San Francisco
A7                      E    D E D B7
You'll see me wearin' a smile

[Chorus]
E    D        E   D
Sing children sing
E         D        E    E7
Sing with all your might
A        G          A            C           E   D E
You were born to be free but I'm stuck right here
       B                A7                       E   D E G
I been seven long years workin' on the hard rock pile

[Verse 2]
      E        D       E              G        E  D E G
I get up every mornin' just about the break of day
      A        G       A              C        A  G A C
I get up every mornin' just about the break of day
       B
Well I pick up my shovel
A7              E  D E D B7
I work my life away

[Chorus]
E    D        E   D
Sing children sing
E         D        E    E7
Sing with all your might
A        G          A            C           E   D E
You were born to be free but I'm stuck right here
       B                A7                       E   D E G
I been seven long years workin' on the hard rock pile

[Jam]
E
Baby don't you know I love you
They locked me away in this crazy place
I'm goin' outta my mind here, girl
I don't know what's happenin' baby
I been workin', I been workin'
My hands are bleedin', baby
I been workin', I wanna come home babe

[Chorus]
E    D        E   D
Sing children sing
E         D        E    E7
Sing with all your might
A        G          A            C           E   D E
You were born to be free but I'm stuck right here
       B                A7                       E   D E D
I been seven long years workin' on the hard rock pile

[Fade]
E    D        E   D
Sing children sing
