Cm7 Cm Db Ab


[Verse 1]
Eb                                
I was told that a life has no 
       Gm
price, you see
Bb                            
But the hate in your eyes put a 
   Eb     Cm
price on me
Eb                                
If the natives were slain for your
      Gm
 liberty
Bb                                
Please explain what you mean by 
    Eb          Cm
"The Land of the Free"


[Pre-Chorus]
                Ab
Oh say can you see

But can you really see?


[Chorus]
             Ab               Eb
What does freedom really mean?
                       Fm        
'Cause what I've been sold, ain't 
     Db        Ab Cm
what I believe
        Ab              Eb
Maybe freedom ain't for me
                        Fm         
'Cause what I've been shown, ain't 
  Db          Ab
what I can see

Been darker days since election day

The rose colors seem to fade away

Bb
The white sheet's coming out to play

This is backwards oh
Eb                                
'63 I thought the chains were 
   Bb
broken and released
Gm
But what about all my brothers in 
penitentiaries
Bb
We'll be floatin' in oceans before 
we notice

We're headed for disaster


[Pre-Chorus]
                Ab
Oh say can you see
     Bb            Fm   Cm
But can you really see?

'Cause what I've been sold, ain't 
   Db          Ab Bm Cm
what I believe
         Ab             Eb
Maybe freedom ain't for me

Bb    Cm
We’ve got
           Ab Eb
One nation
          Db
Under God
    Fm      Ab
Indivisible
                       Cm
It will be washed away
             Bb      Ab     
If we're complacent (if we're 
     Eb
complacent)
                  Db
And divided (And divided)
            Fm     Gb
If we're invisible
           F         Cm
We have to ask ourselves


[Chorus]
             Ab           Eb
What does freedom mean to me?
                   Fm      
Is what I've been sold what I 
Db      Ab Cm
believe?
        Eb
Maybe freedom ain't for me
                        Fm         
'Cause what I've been shown, ain't 
   Db         Ab
what I can see
(Our brothers are bleeding, sisters 
      Bb   Eb
are weepin' oh)

Maybe freedom ain't for me (Don't 
you want better)
                        Fm
'Cause what I've been shown (I know 
we want better)
         Db           Ab
Ain't what I can see (whoa)
                    Cm    Ab  Eb
It ain't what I can see (whoa)
                    Fm
It ain't what I can see
Db                  Ab Bb
It ain't what I can see
