C  Am  C  G  C


[Verse 1]
C                   F             C                  G               C
I'd sing more about moral of this land but all God's children aren't free
C                 F      C                     G               C
I'd open up every door I can because all God's children aren't free
G7                           C                F      C
I met a beaten broken man he shovels dirt but got no land
                    Am         C         G               C
And he held out his hand to me all God's children aren't free


[Verse 2]
C                    F     C                  G               C
I'd sing along too a silly song but all God's children aren't free
    C                               F             C
I'm going to sing the blues for the men they done wrong
            G                     C
Because all God's children aren't free
       G7
Mister how bout the man you condemn to die
    C                           F
But taking everything that he's living by
      C               Am    C         G               C
And reject him from society all God's children aren't free
     C               Am    C         G               C
No reject him from society all God's children aren't free


[Instrumental]
C  Am  C  G  C


[Verse 3]
C                    F    C                   G               C
I'd be happy walking any street but all God's children aren't free
C                    F     C                  G              C
I'd have a smile for all I meet but all God's children ain't free
    G7
I'd whistle down the road but I wouldn't feel right
    C                    F
I'd hear somebody crying out at night
       C                         Am       C         G               C
From a sharecropper shack or penitentiary all God's children aren't free
       C                         Am       C         G               C
From a sharecropper shack or penitentiary all God's children aren't free
