Intro: A   C#m   D   A

A     C#m             D              A
You can take all the tea in China
          C#m          D        E
Put it in a big brown bag for me.
A          C#m            D          A
Sail right round all the seven oceans,
A         C#m              D             A
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea.   


A    C#m       D         A
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey,
A        C#m          D           E
She's an angel of the first degree.
A    C#m       D         A
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey,
A         C#m         D        A
Just like honey baby, from the bee.

You can't stop us on the road to freedom,
You can't keep us `cause our eyes can see.
Men with insight, men in granite,
Knights in armor bent on chivalry.
 
Chorus

You can't stop us on the road to freedom,
You can't stop us `cause our eyes can see.
Men with insight, men in granite,
Knights in armor intent on chivalry.
