[Verse 1]
[Am]In Alaba[G]ma 1958[Am]
The cost of human [D]life is very [Am]low
A man that's black is [D]trampled [Am]down
Just [D]like they [Am]were a thousand [G]years [Am]ago

[Verse 2]
But these are more en[G]lightened [Am]days
No [C]room for all these savage ways
[G]Leave and let them [Am]go
Now every man may walk his [D]road in [Am]peace
For [E]all are [Am]free!

[Verse 3]
Two thousand years [G]ago a million [Am]men
Were gathered into [D]royal Egypt's [Am]land
Were bound together, [D]forced to [Am]build
[D]Pyram[Am]ids of stone in [G]desert [Am]sand
But these are more en[G]lightened [Am]days No

[Verse 4]
[C]
room for all these savage ways
[G]Leave and let them [Am]go
Now every man may walk his [D]road in [Am]peace
For [E]all are [Am]free!
Mary's son walked [G]through a land of [Am]woe

[Verse 5]
Dreaming of the [D]world as it could [Am]be
But the good and lawful [D]men of [Am]Rome
[D]Bound him [Am]like a robber to a tree

[Verse 6]
But these are more en[G]lightened [Am]days
No [C]room for all these savage ways
[G]Leave and let them [Am]go
Now every man may walk his [D]road in [Am]peace
For [E]all are [Am]free!
In Britain just a [G]hundred

[Verse 7]
years [Am]ago
The jails were full of [D]good and
hungry [Am]men
Diggers, fenians, [D]many more
Fought and [Am]died but [E]rose to fight [Am]again
But these are more en[G]lightened [Am]days No [C]room

[Verse 8]
for all these savage ways
[G]Leave and let them [Am]go
Now every man may walk his [D]road in [Am]peace
For [E]all are [Am]free!

[Verse 9]
Last [Am]year a negro [G]stole [Am]a dollar bill
The judge he said "We
[D]mustn't [Am]be severe
Instead of death we'll [D]give him
[Am]life im[D]prisonment
[Am]To show there's ju[E]stice he[Am]re"

[Verse 10]
For these are more en[G]lightened [Am]days
No [C]room for all these savage ways
[G]Leave and let them [Am]go
Now every man may walk his [D]road in [Am]peace
For [E]all are [Am]free!
And so throughout the [G]ages you have

[Verse 11]
[Am]
seen
How progress marches [D]ever on its [Am]way
No rack, no wheel, no [D]Span
ish [Am]boot
[D]For Alabama's [Am]prisoners to[G]day
[Am]

[Verse 12]
For these are more en[G]lightened [Am]days
No [C]room for all these savage ways
[G]Leave and let them [Am]go
Now every man may walk his [D]road in [Am]peace
For [E]all are [Am]free!
In these more enlightened days No [C]room

[Verse 13]
for all these savage ways
[G]Leave and let them [Am]go
Now every man should
walk his road in peace
Let [E]man be free!
