written by Brian Warfield to highlight the injustice of the Guildford four. The guitar chords were worked out by Marc Patrick Fahrbach.
(C)Behind those English prison (F)walls
So (C)innocent and (F)tortured (Am)all
They (C)call for justice (Am)and for peace
and a (G)chance to live a(F)gain
for (C)in their dark and lonely (F)cell
There's no (C)justice, there's no (F)freedom (Am)bell
For those (C)Irish men and (Am)women there
in (C)prison (G)without (C)crime
CHORUS
So (G)free the people let them (C)go
You can't (F)hold them any(C)more
But remember too it could be (Am)me or (C)you
Behind those (G)prison (C)walls
By the laws of God it's surely wrong
for they suffered now for far too long
and with no evidence, no proof of what
You say they're guilty of
But to me it is a crime, a shame,
How you treated them was all a game
But the howling winds of justice will
cry out to free their name
CHORUS
You (F)took away the sunshine and
you (G)took away the rain
You (F)stole away those youthful years
they'll (C)never (G)see a(C)gain
You (F)robbed them of their freedom
And you (G)jailed them without a crime
You de(F)nied them of, their liberty
And you (C)stole a(G)way their (C)time
You stole the precious gift of time,
To me it is the greatest crime
So you must free the Guilford Four
You can't hold them any more
Or like the six in Birmingham
And the many others jailed and damned
Release them now and let them go
And justice will be done
So (C)innocent and (F)tortured (Am)all
They (C)call for justice (Am)and for peace
and a (G)chance to live a(F)gain
for (C)in their dark and lonely (F)cell
There's no (C)justice, there's no (F)freedom (Am)bell
For those (C)Irish men and (Am)women there
in (C)prison (G)without (C)crime
CHORUS
So (G)free the people let them (C)go
You can't (F)hold them any(C)more
But remember too it could be (Am)me or (C)you
Behind those (G)prison (C)walls
By the laws of God it's surely wrong
for they suffered now for far too long
and with no evidence, no proof of what
You say they're guilty of
But to me it is a crime, a shame,
How you treated them was all a game
But the howling winds of justice will
cry out to free their name
CHORUS
You (F)took away the sunshine and
you (G)took away the rain
You (F)stole away those youthful years
they'll (C)never (G)see a(C)gain
You (F)robbed them of their freedom
And you (G)jailed them without a crime
You de(F)nied them of, their liberty
And you (C)stole a(G)way their (C)time
You stole the precious gift of time,
To me it is the greatest crime
So you must free the Guilford Four
You can't hold them any more
Or like the six in Birmingham
And the many others jailed and damned
Release them now and let them go
And justice will be done
Gilford Four Lyrics
Behind those English prison walls
So innocent and tortured all
They call for justice and for peace
and a chance to live again
for in their dark and lonely cell
There's no justice, there's no freedom bell
For those Irish men and women there
in prison without crime
CHORUS
So free the people let them go
You can't hold them anymore
But remember too it could be me or you
Behind those prison walls
By the laws of God it's surely wrong
for they suffered now for far too long
and with no evidence, no proof of what
You say they're guilty of
But to me it is a crime, a shame,
How you treated them was all a game
But the howling winds of justice will
cry out to free their name
CHORUS
You took away the sunshine and
you took away the rain
You stole away those youthful years
they'll never see again
You robbed them of their freedom
And you jailed them without a crime
You de(F)nied them of, their liberty
And you stole away their time
You stole the precious gift of time,
To me it is the greatest crime
So you must free the Guilford Four
You can't hold them any more
Or like the six in Birmingham
And the many others jailed and damned
Release them now and let them go
And justice will be done
Behind those English prison walls
So innocent and tortured all
They call for justice and for peace
and a chance to live again
for in their dark and lonely cell
There's no justice, there's no freedom bell
For those Irish men and women there
in prison without crime
CHORUS
So free the people let them go
You can't hold them anymore
But remember too it could be me or you
Behind those prison walls
By the laws of God it's surely wrong
for they suffered now for far too long
and with no evidence, no proof of what
You say they're guilty of
But to me it is a crime, a shame,
How you treated them was all a game
But the howling winds of justice will
cry out to free their name
CHORUS
You took away the sunshine and
you took away the rain
You stole away those youthful years
they'll never see again
You robbed them of their freedom
And you jailed them without a crime
You de(F)nied them of, their liberty
And you stole away their time
You stole the precious gift of time,
To me it is the greatest crime
So you must free the Guilford Four
You can't hold them any more
Or like the six in Birmingham
And the many others jailed and damned
Release them now and let them go
And justice will be done
