Free me (1977)

C Am Dm F Am

Free me, free me, why won`t you free me, free me from your spell!

C Am

Come on and free me, why won`t you free me?

Dm F Am

Come on and free me, free me from your spell!

C Em

1. Why should I worry that you might not love,

F C

you're not the only love that I ever had.

Em Am

Your sweet memory will always comfort me,

F G

so why should I be feeling sad.

C Em

2. As far as I can tell, you knew so well,

F C

I was always at the end of the line.

Em Am

I loved you as much as any man can,

F G

but not enough to make you mine.

F Em Dm Gm F C

So long, easy rider, I know I'll miss you for a while,

F G7 Am

but sooner or later - I know that I'll forget you.

And I`m telling you, Baby:

C Am

Free me, come on and free me!

Dm F Am

Why won`t you free me, free me from your spell?

C Am

Oh baby, free me, why won`t you free me?

Dm F Am

Come on and free me, free me from your spell!

C Em

3. We let a good love die, we let it pass us by,

F C

though you try to keep me hangin' on.

Em Am

But with all this doubt, it'll never work out,

F G

so tomorrow I'll be travellin' on.

F Em Dm Gm F C

So long, easy rider, I know I'll miss you for a while,

F G7 Am

but sooner or later - I know that I'll forget you.

And I`m telling you, Baby:

C Am

Free me, oh girl, come on, free me!

Dm F Am

Why won`t you free me, free me from your spell?

C

Oh, yeah, come on and free me,

Am

I`m on my knees now, baby, free me!

Dm F Am

Why won`t you free me, free me from your spell......
