Chorus:
        Dm  Dm/C                    A#
Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal (a poor man's deal)
        Dm  Dm/C                       A#
Well I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel (your eyes of steel)

Trades her soul as skin and bone
You better love loving and you better behave
Sells the only thing she owns
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in chains
The sun and the moon
Woman in chains

Men of stone
Men of stone

Chorus:
Well, I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal
That time can't heal
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well, you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains

It's under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart, but I won't understand
Somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
I will not accept the greatness of man

It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains

So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
The sun and the moon
So free her
The wind and the rain
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
The sun and the moon
So free her
The wind and the rain
So free her
