| F           | G           | Am          |  A7         |
| F           | G* G* G* G* | G* G* G* G* ||

[Verse 1]
C               E               Am         Am
  For all those feet in ancient times, for stepping
       C     E                 Am         Am   G*
out of line, dragging time and tide.
C             E              Am        Am
  Against the keepers of the past, the flags of class
    C      E             Am         Am G*
and caste, limp upon the mast.

[Pre-Chorus]
F          G                       Am       A
  All your week you were someone's slave, today you're a free man.
F                      G*              C           C
  If they tell you you can't, then you can.

[Chorus]
    F        G        Am   Am
You can, you can, you can;
    F        G* G* G* G*    G* G* G* G*
you can, you can.

[Verse 2]
C         E             Am           Am
  Walking high upon the hills, rough-shod against
     C                   E               Am         Am   G*
well-heeled, a butterfly breaks upon the wheel.
C   E             Am     Am
  A compass and a cap, a sing-song and a
C               E               Am         Am G*
scrap, a dotted line across the map.

[Pre-Chorus]
F          G                       Am       A
  All your week you were someone's slave, today you're a free man.
F                      G*              C           C
  If they tell you you can't, then you can.

[Chorus]
    F        G        Am   Am
You can, you can, you can;
    F        G* G* G* G*    G* G* G* G*
you can, you can.

[Interlude] (Trumpet)
C          | E          | Am         | Am         |
C          | E          | Am         | Am      G* |
C          | E          | Am         | Am         |
C          | E          | Am         | Am      G* |

[Pre-Chorus]
F          G                       Am       A
  All your week you were someone's slave, today you're a free man.
F                      G*              C           C
  If they tell you you can't, then you can.

[Chorus]
    F        G        Am   Am
You can, you can, you can;
    F        G* G* G* G*    G* G* G* G*
you can, you can.

[Verse 3]
C       E                   Am      Am
  Every five-barred gate my home, a place to call
   C    E                 Am         Am   G*
my own, stone to boundary stone.
C           E                Am       Am
  For every footprint on the land the banners
        C           E                    Am         Am G*
and the banned, who swayed the best-laid plans.

[Pre-Chorus]
F          G                       Am       A
  All your week you were someone's slave, today you're a free man.
F                      G*              C           C
  If they tell you you can't, then you can.

[End-Chorus] (Repeat and Fade Out)
    F        G        Am   Am
You can, you can, you can.
