Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][G][C][Am][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]I'd sing
more about [F]more of this land
[C]But all God's chi[G]ldren ain't fre[C]e
I'd open up every [F]door I [C]can
But all God's [G]children ain't [C]free
[G]I met a beaten, broken man
He [C]shovels dirt, but [F]got no land
[C]And he held out his han[Am]d to me
[C]All God's [G]children ain't [C]free
I'd sing along to [F]a silly song
[C]But all God's chi[G]ldren ain't fre[C]e
I'm gonna sing a blues
for the [F]man they done [C]wrong,
Cause all God's [G]children ain't [C]free.
Mister, [G]how about the man
you condemned to die,
By [C]takin' everything that he's [F]livin' by,
And re[C]ject him from soci[Am]ety.
[C]All God's [G]children ain't [C]free,
No, reject him from soci[Am]ety.
[C]All God's [G]children ain't
[C]free[G][Am][C][G][C]
I'd be happy walking [F]any street
[C]But all God's chi[G]ldren ain't fre[C]e
I'd have a smile for [F]all I meet
[C]But all God's chi[G]ldren ain't fre[C]e
I'd [G]whistle down the road,
but it wouldn't feel right
I'd [C]hear somebody crying [F]out [Fm]at night
[F]From a sha[C]recropper's
shack or penit[Am]entiary
[C]All God's [G]children ain't [C]free
From a sharecropper's
shack or pen[Am]itentiary
[C]All God's [G]children ain't [C]free
