Looking for freedom (1989) (midi)

C

1. One morning in June some twenty years ago,

F C

I was born a rich man's son,

I had everything that money could buy,

F C

but freedom I had none.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - C F C

I've been lookin' for freedom, I've been lookin' so long,

F C - Am G C

I've been lookin' for freedom, still the search goes on.

F C F C

I've been lookin' for freedom since I left my home town,

F C - Am G C

I've been lookin' for freedom, still it can't be found.

C

2. I headed down the track, my baggage on my back,

F C

I left the city far behind,

walkin' down the road, with my heavy load,

F C

tryin' to find some peace of mind.

C Am

Father said you'll be sorry, son,

F C

if you leave your home this way,

Am

and when you realize the freedom money buys,

F C

you'll come running home some day.

+ CHORUS

C

4. I paid a lotta dues, had plenty to lose,

F C

travelling across the land.

Worked on a farm, got some muscle in my arm,

F C

but still I'm not a self-made man.

C Am

I'll be on the run for many years to come,

F C

I'll be searching door to door.

Am

But, given some time, some day I'm gonna find

F C

the freedom (freedom ! freedom !) I've been searchin' for.
