I Shall Be Released

Bob Dylan / the Band: Music from Big Pink (1968)

	They say everything can be re	placed -	That every	distance	is not	near.

	A	Bm	C#m	Bm	E	A
	So I remember every	face -	Of every	man who	put me	here.

	A	Bm	C#m	Bm	E	A
	They say every man needs pro	tection,	They say every	man must	rise and	fall.

	A	Bm	C#m	Bm	E	A
	Yet I swear I see my re	flection,	Placed so	high a	bove this	wall.

	A	Bm	C#m	Bm	E	A
I	see my light come	shining -	From the	west un	to the	east.

	A	Bm	C#m	Bm	A
	Any day now,	Any way now,	I shall	be re	leased!

	A	Bm	C#m	Bm	E	A
	Right here next to me in this	lonely crowd,	There's a	man who	swears he's not to	blame.

	A	Bm	C#m	Bm	E	A
	All day long I hear him	cry so loud,	Callin'	out that	he's been	framed.
