The Prisoner

Bm
Take us to the prisoner
       Bm/A
Let us gaze into his eyes
   G                D9/F#
To see what kind of man
           Em           C
It takes a nation to despise
Bm
Take us to the prisoner
       Bm/A
Let us look upon his face
   G              D9/F#
To see why twenty thousand men
      Em               C - C7M - C
Would gladly take his place
        G
Won't someone give a drink to him?
   D/F#               Em            C
Remove the chains and let him live
           G - G4 - G - G4 - G - G4 - G
Let him live

Bm
Take us to the prisoner
       Bm/A
Let us listen to his voice
   G                D9/F#
To see why worlds of wisdom's
      Em              C
In a cell without a choice
Bm
Take us to the prisoner
         Bm/A
Torn and bent beneath the chains
   G             D9/F#
We wonder if the world is really
 Em            C - C7M - C
Worthy of his name?
        G
Won't someone give a drink to him?
   D/F#               Em            C
Remove the chains and let him live
           G - G4 - G - G4 - G - G4 - G
Let him live

Cm
We know where we're going

For we heard the new winds blowing
           G            D/F#          Em     G
And we're got to know,        for ourselves
          C                         F
It won't help to listen to someone else

[Solo]

Bm
Take us to the prisoner
         Bm/A
With his eyes so full of grace
       G
The priests have lied
    D9/F#
And kings have died
        Em                 C - C7M - C
Filled with their own disgrace
        G
Won't someone give a drink to him?
   D/F#               Em            C
Remove the chains and let him live
           G - G4 - G - G4 - G - G
Let him live
           G - G4 - G - G4 - G - G
Let him live
           G
Let him live
