G                                                    Am                                                              G  
Arlis Richards was a man who lived among the blacks
                                                  Am                                                              G  
He was a crosstie walker with guitar on his back
                                Am                                                            G  
barely educated couldn't write his name
                                                                  Am                                                      G  
but when he played his guitar this is what he sang
G                                      B7      Em                            C      G                                         D                              C  
I have been set free    pain and misery no longer follow me    I know Jesus!
                                                  Am                            G  
Just outside of Memphis back in 52
                                     Am                                                                    G  
Arlis was a ramblin the way that he would do
                                             Am                                                    G  
playing on his guitar sitting in the shade
                                          Am                                                                    G  
people came to listen to the music that he made
G                                    B7      Em                            C      G                                         D                              C  
I have been set free pain and misery no longer follow me    I know Jesus!
BRIDGE    UNKNOWN    CAN WORK WITH OTHERS
Bm                         Am                                                    G  
Some folks walked on by when they saw the color of his skin
Bm                 Am                                                            C  
others stayed and cried when they saw the man within.
     Am    Gm  
                                                Am                                              G  
when his song was over Arlis went his way
                                                  Am                                                              G  
But some folks say revival started that day
G                                    B7      Em                 C         G                                 D                              C  
I have been set free pain and misery no longer follow me    I know Jesus!
