_ _ _ _ _ Hello! _
_ _ _ _ Silly Willy guy today.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] I'm very glad to be here.

[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ As I said, I'm very glad to be here.
Actually, I'm very glad to be anywhere. _
I've got to look over my shoulder every once in a while.
See [C#m] good things coming.
[F#] _ I've been so privileged and so _ _ not knowing _ _
[D#] what was going on at one [G] point in my life.
I had all the tools [C] to get there.
[E] I had a lot of [D#] things to get there, but I just didn't [F#] get there. _ _
And it was the fulfillment of answers [D#] for questions that I would ask someone and they [A#] had no clue. _
[F] So _ all that time I spent going up [D] to _ [E] _ [D#] 1969 _ _ where I sort of got out of a bubble helicopter somewhere over there.
_ [E] And after sitting in the only helicopter I'd ever been in and looking through the floor and [F#] seeing the [C] trees go by,
_ [D#] I thought, this [C] time we made it.
_ This time we actually made it.
If this picture [G] gets on _ television, [A#] we won. _

Freedom, _ _ _ freedom, _ freedom, _ _ _ freedom, _ _ freedom, _ _ freedom, _ _ freedom.
Sometimes _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I feel just like I'm a motherless child. _
_ [Em] Sometimes _ _ I feel [D] like [Bm] I'm a motherless child.
_ _ Sometimes _ _ I feel just like I'm a motherless child.
_ [F#m] A long _ _ _ _ _ _ way, _ a long way from my home. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ Freedom, _ _ [D] freedom, _ _ freedom, _ _ _ freedom, _ _ freedom, _ _ _ freedom.
_ _ _ Sometimes I feel just like I'm _ _ _ falling [Em] down. _
Sometimes _ [Bm] I feel like _ _ I'm falling down.
_ Sometimes _ I feel just like _ I'm almost gone.
_ [F#] A long _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
way, _ _ [F#m] a long way from my home.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm]
Freedom, _ _ freedom, _ _ freedom, _ _ _ freedom, _ _ freedom, _ _ [D] _ _ [Bm] freedom, _ freedom.
_ Freedom, [F#m] clap your hands, clap your hands, clap your hands, clap [Bm] your hands. _ _
I've got a telephone in my purse and I can call him up from [F#m] my heart.
[Bm] _
_ I've got a telephone in my purse and I can call him up from my heart.
When I need my brother, I say brother.
When I need my father, I say father. _
_ Sister, _ _ sister. _
_ Mother, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ mother. _ _ _
