(GUITAR INTRO)      my aunt Jessie was cruel      Lord, she made me go to school      all the time      it was killing me      it was a crime      cause I could not be free      from the confines      of those chains            oh the river was deep      but the water looked sweet      oh my, my, my      I jumped right in      you know I tried      but I could not swim      thru the darkness or the pain            never thought I'd breakaway from those chains      never thought Id' breakaway from those chains      never thought Id' breakaway from those chains      never thought Id' breakaway from those chains      (short SLIDE SOLO)            so I headed for the hills      let the danger break my will      oh my, my      in a landslide      I was losing ground      and there was no one but myself to blame            never thought I'd breakaway from those chains      never thought I'd breakaway from those chains      never thought I'd breakaway from those chains      noo, no, no, I'd breakaway from those chains      (SLIDE SOLO)            breakaway from those chains      breakaway from those chains      breakaway from those chains      breakaway from those chains      breakaway from those chains      breakaway from those chains      ______________________________________________________________________      Lyrics are copyright 1976, John Dillon
