Intro: D(5x) 


D            D/C#     D7            G                     D
Three horses greazing out my window brown black and white they stand

G                     D               A             A7
with rolling pastures they can wander free and easy is their land-Al


Chorus:

G          A         D           G          A    D       G
Don't ever take away our freedom don't ever take it away we must cherish

G/f#     G             D            A
and keep that one part of our lives and the rest we're gonna find

A7
one of these days...

D
one of these days


D                   D/C#           D7
I've always thought that I've seen in my own lifetime

G                   D                      G
an end into poverty injustice and the wars but now I've learned to that job

D                                 A                    A7
it's gonna take a long, long time so there's one thing that must endure


(chorus) 


D            D/C#              D7
When I'm old I'm thinking over this whole life that I have lived

G                          D          G
if there is one final wish left to me I will pray for the children

D              A                            A7
yet to be born and I will pray that they'll always live free


(chorus) 


G               A               D
There is a time for the singing and the sunshine

G               A               D
There is a time for the thunder and the rain

G              G/f#             G               D
There's a time for the changing all the seasons my friends

A                     A7
but there's one thing that must never ever change


(chorus) 


Ending:

G            A                D
And the rest we're gonna find one of these days
