Intro
Bm - Bm7/4 - Bm - Bm7/4 - Bm - Bm7/4 - Bm (x2)
[Bm]Take us to the prisoner
Let us [Bm/A]gaze into his eyes
To [G]see what kind of [D9/F#]man
It takes a [Em]nation to [C]despise
[Bm]Take us to the prisoner
Let us [Bm/A]look upon his face
To [G]see why twenty [D9/F#]thousand men
Em C - C7M - C
Would gladly take his place
Won't [G]someone give a drink to him?
[D/F#]Remove the chains and [Em]let him live[C]
G - G4 - G - G4 - G - G4 - G
Let him live
[Bm]Take us to the prisoner
Let us [Bm/A]listen to his voice
To [G]see why worlds of[D9/F#] wisdom's
In a [Em]cell without a [C]choice
[Bm]Take us to the prisoner
Torn and [Bm/A]bent beneath the chains
We [G]wonder if the [D9/F#]world is really
Em C - C7M - C
Worthy of his name?
Won't [G]someone give a drink to him?
[D/F#]Remove the chains and [Em]let him live[C]
G - G4 - G - G4 - G - G4 - G
Let him live
[Cm]We know where we're going
For we heard the new winds blowing
And we're [G]got to know, [D/F#] for [Em]ourselves[G]
It won't [C]help to listen to someone [F]else
Solo
[Bm]Take us to the prisoner
With his [Bm/A]eyes so full of grace
The [G]priests have lied
And [D9/F#]kings have died
Em C - C7M - C
Filled with their own disgrace
Won't [G]someone give a drink to him?
[D/F#]Remove the chains and [Em]let him live[C]
G - G4 - G - G4 - G - G
Let him live
G - G4 - G - G4 - G - G
Let him live
Let him [G]live
