at me till I'm cryin'.

Would you mind not smokin' on a Friday?

Don't like it when I'm eatin',

don't like it when I'm breathin',

Eb
Don't like it anywhere or any day.
He told me, it's a habit,
Ab
I choose to have it,
Eb
Bb
And you choose to come here on a Friday.

So you're the problem, not me,

And if I choose to rot, me,
Bb
You've got no right to stop me,

Cause it's a free world,
Cm
Democracy and all that, it's a free world,
F
Let's say fair and all that,
Bb
Eb
And if industry can do it, so can I.

He lit another proudly,
Eb
F

As for me, I looked around me for a friend.

But I paid my bill and left.

Cm
I thought of Mother Jones,
Fm
Bb
I thought of Rosa Parks Sojourner
Truth and Rosa Luxemburg

It's them I have to thank

Guerrilla folks have taught me

If freedom you are wanting

If head -on fights are daunting,
