[Intro 1]
[Em]
[D][Em][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
We [Em]talk about South Africa
and we [D]say that it's [Em]a shame
Apartheid is wrong and we
[D]all share [Em]the blame
But people let me tell you,
every[D]where it's [Em]just the same
People being mistreated,
[D]when [Em]will it change?
Let's talk about the future
and [D]learn from the past
[Em]We must love one another
if this [D]world is go[Em]ing to last
We fought for self- respect,
and we [D]fought [Em]for equal rights
And we've known a long,
long time that dis[D]crimina[Em]tion ain't right

[Verse 2]
Talking 'bout [C]freedom, [D]freedom,
talking 'bout [Em]freedom
Talking 'bout [C]freedom, [D]freedom,
talking 'bout [Em]freedom

[Verse 3]
[Em]A ghetto is no place for [D]children [Em]to grow
But you can find a ghetto [D]everywhere [Em]you go
I heard Dr. King [D]say: "I [Em]have a dream"
All he wanted was to [D]let [Em]the freedom ring
Why do we have to fight in wars
[D]to try to [Em]save our land
If we get back alive, there's [D]still no [Em]dignity
Do I have to die be[D]fore [Em]I can be free?
I want freedom in my life,
[D]that's the way[Em] it's got to be

[Verse 4]
[C]Freedom, [D]freedom,
talking 'bout [Em]freedom
Talking [C]'bout freedom,
[Am]I'm talking 'bout free[Em]dom

[Interlude 1]
Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord
[Em][D][Em][D][Em][D]
[Em][D][Em][C][D][Em][C]
[Am][D][Em]

[Verse 5]
I'm [Em]tired of discrimination,
[D]this has got to [Em]stop
We must learn to live together
be[D]fore [Em]the bombs drop
If you love your children,
[D]this is what you [Em]should do
Teach them love one another,
and [D]live by the [Em]Golden Rule
Freedom of choice, freedom of speech,
my [D]freedom is up to [Em]you
We were promised this freedom,
we [D]got so much [Em]to do
And the love of freedom,
is [D]the same for you an[Em]d me
All I need is someone to help me
ring [D]the [Em]Freedom Bell
Talking [C]about

[Verse 6]
[D]freedom,
[Em]I need freedom in my life
Lord Lord, talking [C]'bout freedom,
[Am]freedom, talking [Em]'bout freedom

[Outro 1]
I need freedom right now
