Graham Nash - Chicago Lyrics

by Graham Nash





So your brother's bound and gagged

And they've chained him to a chair

Won't you please come to chicago just to sing

In a land that's known as freedom how can such a thing be fair

won't you please come to chicago for the help that we can bring



We can change the world rearrange the world

It's dying - to get better



Politicians sit yourselves down, there's nothing for you here

won't you please come to chicago for a ride

don't ask jack to help you `cause he'll turn the other ear

won't you please come to chicago or else join the other side



We can change the world rearrange the world

it's dying - if you believe in justice

dying - and if you believe in freedom

dying - let a man live his own life

dying - rules and regulations, who needs them open up the door



Somehow people must be free I hope the day comes soon

won't you please come to chicago show your face

From the bottom of the ocean to the mountains of the moon

won't you please come to chicago no one else can take your place



We can change the world rearrange the world

It's dying - if you believe in justice

dying - and if you believe in freedom

dying - let a man live his own life

dying - rules and regulations, who needs them open up the door
