I got rid of the shackles that bound me
A D
And the guards that were always around me
G C G C
There were tears on the mail mother send me in jail
G D G
But I'm free from the chain gang now
G C G
Back home I was known and respected
A D
Than one day I was wrongly suspected
G C G c
So they put me in chains in a cold freezin’ rain
G D G
But I'm free from the chain gang now

G C G
All the years I was known by a number
A D
How I kept my mind is a wonder
G C G C
And the bare prison cell that was one step from hell
G D G
But I'm free from the chain gang now
C G
I’ll pray that the gossip will spare me
A D
When I return to the one I will married
G C G
Like a bird in a tree I got my liberty
G D G
And I'm free from the chain gang now
