  			I Shall Be Released (words and music by Bob Dylan.  On Joan Baez's double-disc album "Any Day Now.") 

C                                             Dm 
They say everything can be replaced 
Em                    F          G7       C 
They say every distance is not near, 
C                                Dm 
But I remember every face 
Em          F           G7       C 
Of every man who put me here. 
 
C                             Dm            
I see my light come shining 
Em          F          G7     C 
From the west out to the east. 
C                     Dm 
Any day now, any day now 
E  F     G7    C 
I shall be released.  

Chorus 

They say every man needs protection, 
They say that every man must fall, 
Yet I swear I see my reflection 
Somewhere so high above this wall.  

Chorus 

Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd, 
A man who swears he's not to blame. 
All day long I hear him shouting so loud; 
He's crying out that he was framed. 

Chorus
