It ain't fair, John Sinclair, in the stir for breathing air
A                                 A
Won't you care for John Sinclair? In the stir for breathing air
E                         E                          \E
Let him be, set him free, let him be like you and me

  They gave him ten for two

  We got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to

  Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to set him free
 
If he was a soldier man, shooting gooks in Vietnam
If he was the CIA, selling dope and making hay
He'd be free, they'd let him be, breathing air like you and me

  They gave him ten for two
  And they got old Lee Otis too
  We got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to
  Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to set him free, free now
 
Was he jailed for what he done, or representing everyone?
Free John now, if we can, from the clutches of the man
Let him be, lift the lid, bring him to his wife and kids, all right
 
  They gave him ten for two
  What else can the bastards do?
  We got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to
  Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to set him free
