CHORUS
D A
One man of seventy whispers free at last
G
Two neighbors who are proud of their massacres
D A
Three tyrants torn away in a winter's month
G
Four prisoners framed by a dirty judge

A

G
And seven more days to shake at the great divide
(X2) The Gulf, the Gulf of Araby
D A G
One man of seventy whispers not free yet
Two neighbors who make up knee-deep in their dead
