Guitar chords with lyrics
Intro:
D G D A G D
Verse 1:
D
Up in the hills of Tennesseee
G D
Aways from Knoxville town
A A7
There stood a school called highlander
G D
Unlike any school around
D
It stood for justice, it stood for peace
G D
It stood for civil rights
A A7
So them good ol boys put badges on
G D
In place of pointy whites
D
And they went down there, to highlander
G D
To shut those commies down
A A7
And the they confiscated their property
G D
And here is what they found
Chorus:
D
No you can't padlock an idea my friend
G D
Can't padlock an idea
A A7
You can padlock a door, that's for sure
G D
But you can't padlock an idea
Verse 2:
D
Well the founders stood there smiling as
G D
They padlocked up the doors
A A7
Those fools they thought that highlander
G D
Was over with for sure
D
And when asked why he was laughing and
G D
He seemed not to dismay
A A7
Myles Horton uttered words that tell
G D
Why it still stands today
D
Because he knew there was a truth
G D
A truth that such men dread
A A7
Well you can't padlock an idea my friends
G D
Yeah this what he said
Chorus:
D
No you can't padlock an idea my friend
G D
Can't padlock an idea
A A7
You can padlock a door, that's for sure
G D
But you can't padlock an idea
D
No you can't padlock an idea my friend
G D
Can't padlock an idea
A A7
You can padlock a door, that's for sure
G D
But you can't padlock an idea
D
No you can't padlock an idea
