I met an old man in the bar by the harbour
F C G
The bar by the harbour one late, Summer's Eve
C F C
The seagulls were wheeling high over the houses
F C G C
And He spoke in a whisper as chill as the breeze
He said:
G C
"Liberty son, is whisky and women
F C G
And whisky and women are bought and they're sold
G C
Slavery boy, is chains made of iron
F C
And freedom's the same
G | C ..
But with chains made of gold"

C F C
I told that old man I had gold in My pocket
F C G
Gold to buy freedom, I'd walk I'd not crawl
C F C
But He laughed and He told Me: "You know not of freedom
F C G C
For freedom You buy, that's no freedom at all"
He said:
G C
"Liberty son, is whisky and women
F C G
And whisky and women are bought and they're sold
G C
Slavery boy, is chains made of iron
F C
And freedom's the same
G C
But with chains made of gold"

I left that old man in the bar by the harbour
F C G
He stared at the moonlight out over the wall
C F C
And I swear that He must have been half mad with whisky
F C G C
The words that He spoke, they made no sense at all
He said:
G C
"Liberty son, is whisky and women
F C G
And whisky and women are bought and they're sold
G C
Slavery boy, is chains made of iron

And freedom's the same
