Verse 1
Am
.
Let the slave, grinding at the mill,
run out into the fields.
Let him look up into the heavens
and laugh in the bright air.
Let the enchained soul
shut up in darkness and in sighing
Whose face has never seen a smile
in thirty weary years

Verse 2
Am
G
Asus4
What is the price of experience?
D
Am
To men buy it for a song,
Asus4
D
or wisdom for a dance in the street.
Am
No, it is bought with the price
of all that man hath,
G
Asus4
Am
his house, his wife, his children.
D
Wisdom is sold in the desolate
market
Am
where none come to buy,
G
And in the withered field
Dm
where the farmer ploughs
Asus4
Am
for bread in vain.
D
It is an easy thing to triumph
in the summer sun
Asus4
and to sing on the wagon loaded with corn.
D
Am
It is an easy thing to talk of
D
patience to the af flicted,
Am
to speak laws of prudence
to the houseless wanderer,
G
Asus4
Am
to listen to the hungry raven's cry
D
in wintry season, when the red
Their blood is filled with wine
Am
G
an d with the marrow of lambs.
D
It is an easy thing to laugh at
Am
wrathful elements.
D
To hear a dog howl at the wintry door,
Am
the ox and the slaughterhouse moan.
G
D
To see a god on every wind
Am
and a blessing in every blast.
in the thunderstorm
Am
that des troys our enemy's house.
G
Dm
D
To rejoice in the blight
that covers his field
Am
and the sickness that cuts
Am
While our olive and vine
sing and laugh round our door.
G
And our children bring fruit
Asus4
Am
and flowers.
D
Then the groan and the doler
are quite forgotten.
Am
And the slave grinding at the mill.
And the captive in chains
Dm
and the poor in prison.
D
Am
and the soldier in the
field
D
where the shattered bone
has laid him groaning among
G
D
It is an easy thing to rejoice
Asus4
Am
in the tents of prosperity.
D
Thus would I sing and thus rejoice,
Am
but it is not so with me.
