I feel locked up and I want to get out,
E H7
But don’t know where to go, I just wanna be free.
F#m C#/F
And do what I please, but where do I go
E
To find a place, a place where I can go
H7
To be free, to be free, yes, free…
Bridge:
F#m
Just like it to be free on every mountain,
C#/F
Every sea, I’m gonna find me a place to be free.
E
And I won’t, won’t, cannot do it now
H7
How am I living right now?
Chorus:
F#m C#/F
Can I be happy? But how can that be
E H7
When the world is so sick? I don’t know what
F#m
Can you tell me how to be free?
C#/F
To be free,
E
To be free,
H7
To be free
F#m
From drugs and needs.
C#/F
Ou-oooh…
E H7
To be free, to be free…
Why don’t you help your fellow man
When he’s down? Why don’t you make friends when you are down?
Maybe this world comes when we love one another
And I hope that your brother wants
To be free, to be free, yes, free…
Bridge:
Just like it to be free on every mountain,
Every sea, I’m gonna find me a place to be free.
And just like a bird so high in the sky
And so free when he flies, oh let me go wild.
Chorus:
F#m C#/F
He seems to be happy, when he’s set free,
E H7
When the world is so sick? I don’t know what
F#m
Can you tell me how to be free from all this misery?
C#/F
To be free, yeah you’ll see,
E
To be free, don’t let it take me,
H7
To be free, take away my misery.
Instrumental: F#m | C#/F | E | H7
F#m
To be free from all this misery,
C#/F
To be free, yeah, you’ll see,
E
To be free, don’t let it take me,
H7
To be free, take away my misery.
Instrumental: F#m | C#/F
E
Take away my misery,
H7
I just wanna be free.
