I Shall Be Released

guitar chords lyrics

The Box Tops

They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face

Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
(chorus)
Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame

(chorus)
Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shout so loud
Crying out that he was framed
(chorus x2)
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
