There is free dom with in;

there is free dom with out.

Try to catch sions the del uge in a pa per but cup.

There’s a bat tle a head;

man y bat tles are lost, but you’ll nev er see the end of the road while you’re (G)trav ’ling with me.

Hey now, hey now, don’t (Eb)dream it’s (Cm)o ver, hey now, hey now, when the (Eb)world comes (Cm)in.

They come, they come

to build a wall be tween us.

We know they won’t win.

Now I’m tow ing my car;

there’s a hole in the roof.

My pos ses ing are caus ing me sus pi cion your there’s no proof.

In the pa per to day,

tales of war and of waste, but you turn er right o end ver to the V page.

(G)trav ’ling with me.

Hey now, hey now, don’t (Eb)dream it’s (Cm)o ver, hey now, hey now, when the (Eb)world comes (Cm)in.

They come, they come

Hey now, hey now, don’t (Eb)dream it’s (Cm)o ver, hey now, hey now, when the (Eb)world comes (Cm)in.

They come, they come

to build a wall be tween us.

We know they won’t win.

Don’t let them win.

(Hey now, hey now.)

Don’t let them win.

(Hey now, hey now.)

Don’t let them win.
