"People Got To Be Free"
(Felix Cavaliere - Eddie Brigati)
Chorus 1:
Bb F C7 F
All the world over, so easy to see
Bb F C7 F
People everywhere just wanna be free
Bb F C7 F
Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be
Bb F C7 F
Peace in the valley, people got to be free

Seems to me such an easy, easy thing should be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another
[repeat bass/piano riff]
Chorus 2:
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free (wanna be free)
I can't understand it, so simple to me (it is)
People everywhere just got to be free
Verse 2:
If there's a man who is down and needs a helping hand
All it takes is you to understand and to pull him through
Seems to me we got to solve it individually
And I'll do unto you what you do to me
Chorus 3:
There'll be shoutin' from the mountains on out to sea (out to sea)
No two ways about it, people have to be free (they got to be free)
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be (ah-ha)
It's a natural situation for a man to be free
Horn break:
(Get right on board now)
F Ab Db C

Chorus 4:
Oh, what a feelin's just come over me
It's enough to move a mountain, make a blind man see
Everybody's dancin' [unintelligible]
Peace in the valley, now they want to be free
Coda:
(C7) F
See that train over there
C7 F
Now that's the train of freedom
C7 F
It's about to arrive any minute, now
C7 F
You know, it's been long, long overdue
C7 F
Look out 'cause it's comin' right on through [fade]

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official RASCALS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
