[Intro]
D D
[Verse]
D Em
They say everything can be replaced
F#m Em D
They say every distance is not near
D Em
And So I remember every face
F#m Em D
Of every man who put me here.
[Chorus]
D Em
I see my light come shining
F#m Em D
From the west down to the east.
D
Any day now,
Em
Any day now,
F#m Em D
I shall be released
[Verse]
D Em
They say every man needs protection.
F#m Em D
They say every man he must fall.
D Em
Yet I swear I see my reflection,
F#m Em D
Somewhere so high above this wall.
[Chorus]
D Em
I see my light come shining
F#m Em D
From the west down to the east.
D
Any day now,
Em
Any day now,
F#m Em D
I shall be released
[Instrumental] (x2)
D Em F#m Em D
[Verse]
D Em
Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd,
F#m Em D
A man who swears he not to blame.
D Em
All day long I hear him shouting so loud,
F#m Em D
Just crying out that he was framed.
[Chorus]
D Em
I see my light come shining
F#m Em D
From the west down to the east.
D
Any day now,
Em
Any day now,
F#m Em D
I shall be released
[Outro]
D
Any day now,
Em
Any day now,
F#m Em D
I shall be released
D Em F#m Em D
