[Am]One day a friend

[Verse 1]
took me aside
And said I have to [Dm]leave you
For buying [Am]something from a friend
They say I've done [Em]wrong
[E]For protect[Am]ing the name of a man
They say I have to [Dm]leave you
So now I'm [Am]bidding you farewell
[Em]for much too l[Dm]ong
An[Am]d here's a song to sing
For every [Dm]man inside
If he can [Am]hear you sing
It's an open [Em]door
[E]There's not a [Am]rich man there
Who couldn't pay [Dm]his way
And by the freedom
[Am]That's a high pric[Em]e for the [Dm]poor[Am]
Kids in Texas talk[Dm]ing less
[Am]Ten -year sentence e[Em]nd s too fast
[E]Ple[Am]ase hear me out, it'[Dm]s not me
[Am]Ask a [Em]judge his [Dm]wife
An[Am]other friend sent a kiss,
I'm gonna have to [Dm]leave ya
Selling [Am]something to the man,
I guess I did [Em]wrong
[E]Although I did[Am] the best I could,
I'm gonna have to [Dm]leave ya
So now I'm [Am]kissing you farewell
[Em]for much too l[Dm]ong
[Am]An d here's a song to sing
for every [Dm]man inside
If he can [Am]hear you sing,
it's an open [Em]door
[E]There's not a [Am]rich man there
who couldn't pay [Dm]his way
And buy the [Am]freedom
that's a high [Em]price for the [Dm]poor[Am][Dm]
