                   (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

Verse 1:

	F           C           Dm                   Am
	You should see  what a lovely, lovely world this'd be
	Bb    F                   Gm
	Everyone learns to live together

	bass doubled with piano:

	-3---------------|------------------

	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]
