[Verse]
C#m7 F#
Oh, yes it's hard, it's getting harder
C#m7 F#
To turn the cheek or just walk away
C#m7 F#
When all I see is degradation
C#m7 F#
Day after day
C#m7 F#
I wanna fight, my hands are tied
C#m7 F#
My weapons are pitiful
C#m7
And all that's left
F# C#m7
One troubled mind, one timid voice
F#
Such a desperate noise
[Chorus]
A B/E E B
What's in a word, more than you imagine
A E E/G#
What's in a word, more than I can say
A G#m7 C#m7 B A
Once in a while you can hear such sweet sounds
A B C#m7 F#
Freedom's singing in your head, in your head
C#m7 F#
[Verse]
C#m7 F#
And while I slide down into darkness
C#m7 F#
You spent so proud, so proud in the light
C#m7
Oh, help me please
F# C#m7 F#
I think I'm falling between wrong and right
C#m7 F#
Why give me strenght, then speak at lenght
C#m7 F#
Of wisdom and tenderness
C#m7 F#
So much to learn, so much to lose
C#m7 F#
I've asked it before, now tell me once more
[Chorus]
A B/E E B
What's in a word, more than you imagine
A E E/G#
What's in a word, more than I can say
A G#m7 C#m7 B A
Once in a while you can hear such sweet sounds
A B
Chimes of freedom in your head
A B/E E B
Yes I have heard that a new age's dawning
A E E/G#
And I have heard that the die is cast
A G#m7 C#m7 B A
I know the word can be liberation
A B C#m7 F#
For a people free at last, free at last
C#m7 F#
[Piano Solo]

[Bridge]
N.C.
Some give a damn, some give their lives
N.C.
Why can't we give peace a chance
N.C.
Put down that gun, a battle won without even a shot
N.C.
Oh, dreamer I'm not
[Chorus]
A B/E E B
What's in a word, more than you imagine
A E E/G#
What's in a word, more than I can say
A G#m7 C#m7 B A
Once in a while you can hear such sweet sounds
A B
Chimes of freedom in your head
A B/E E B
Yes I have heard that a new age's dawning
A E E/G#
And I have heard that the die is cast
A G#m7 C#m7 B A
I know the word can be liberation
A B
For a people free at last,
A B/E E B
What's in a word,
A E E/G#
What's in a word,
A G#m7 C#m7 B A
Once in a while
A B
Chimes of freedom in your head
C#m7 F#
Free at last
