 E                                              F#m   
   They say everything can be replaced,  
G#m            A            B        E  
   That every distance is not near,  
                                F#m             
So I remember every face,  
G#m          A            B          E       B          
   Of every man who put me here.  

(Segue a mesma sequência)  

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


  E                                F#m   
     I see my light come shining,  
  G#m         A           B         E  
     From the west until the east.  
                         F#m         
     Any day now, any way now,  
G#m A        B   E  
     I shall be released.   

  

Yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd,  
It´ 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.
