C
Rusty old steam pipes banging away
Am
Letting me know it's another day
    F          G7
In hell, In a cell
C
He did wrong and he agrees
    Am
So punish him with humanity
            F                G7
For he's a human, he's not a dog

[Chorus]
F                      G7                           C        C7
Show him a picture or give him an answer that will help him
    F                 C
He wants to free his body
    F                 C
He wants to free his mind
      F                  G7
He's been in prison too long
            C
Here's his song

[Verse 2]
C
Twenty three hours in a lifeless cell
Am
Day after day it's the same old hell
           F                G7
Who knows why, I'd like to know
C
I wish I knew the answer for this
Am
To release his soul from captivity
    F              G7
Oh Lord, hear his plea

[Chorus]
F                      G7                           C        C7
Show him a picture or give him an answer that will help him
    F                 C
He wants to free his body
    F                 C
He wants to free his mind
      F                  G7
He's been in prison too long
            C
Here's his song
