One day a friend took me aside

For buying something from a friend
Em E7
They say I have done wrong.
Am
For protecting the name of a man
Dm7
they say I`ll have to leave you.
Am Em Dm7 Am
So now I`m bidding you farewell for much too long.
Am Dm7
And here`s a song to sing for every man inside.
Am Em E7
If he can hear you sing it`s an open door.
Am Dm7
There`s not a rich man there who couldn`t pay his way
Am Em Dm7 Am
and buy the freedom, that`s a high price for the poor.

I guess I did wrong.
Am
And although I did the best I could
Dm7
I`m gonna have to leave you.
Am Em Dm7 Am
So now I`m kissing you farewell for much too long.

Am Dm7
There`s not a rich man there who couldn`t pay his way
Am Em Dm7 Am7
and buy the freedom, that`s a high price for the poor.
