Three Dog Night was an American rock and roll band active from 1968 to 1975. Their first gold record was "One" in 1969, followed by "Easy To Be Hard" from the musical Hair. They had three number one songs: "Mama Told Me Not to Come," "Joy to the World", and "Black and White". The band included three lead vocalists — Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells — and Michael Allsup on guitar, Floyd Sneed on drums, Joe Schermie (from the Cory Wells Blues Band) on bass, and Jimmy Greenspoon on keyboards. The band was the protegé of Beach Boys producer, composer, vocalist, and instrumentalist Brian Wilson, and at the time went under the name Redwood.

Chained Lyrics

Three Dog Night

(R.Ballard)
Free like a bird as it flies,
Free like an old man that dies,
Just like a stream or a rose growing wild,
Somewhere there's someone walkin' the road
Somewhere someone who carries a load,
Don't look too far to see somewhere there's a man.
Chained, chained, chained, chained.
God bring the day, God bring the day,
God bring the day when we don't have to lay there chained.
God, why don't you let them go?
Why? That's what I want to know.
Pray to the Lord, give thanks that you're free.
Somewhere there's a magical sun,
Somewhere and no evil is done,
Where there's a devil wind, therein a man
Chained, chained, chained, chained.
God bring the day, God bring the day,
God bring the day when we don't have to lay there chained.
Chained, chained, chained, chained.
God bring the day, God bring the day,
God bring the day when we don't have to lay there.-acapo
