Start Jamming...
Watch them baby, [B] don't you cry.
Soon the sun is [E] gonna shine.
We're gonna be free like the birds [B] and the bees.
Running wild across the big [E] country.
[Bm] [E] Gotta be free [D] to do what I want to do.
Walk if I want [A] to, talk if I want to.
I don't know what I want to do.
[E] Gotta be [D] free to say what I want to.
Live what I [A] want, play what I want.
[E] We're [D] birds up in the sky.
Trees are buzzing, [A] spiders are doing the flies.
[E] Don't know [D] how, but I'm gonna try.
I just [B] wanna be free.
And it won't be long.
Cause we are [Abm] right and [E] they are wrong.
Yeah, we gotta get out of this [B] world somehow.
We gotta be free, we gotta [E] be free now.
I gotta be [D] free to laugh what I want.
Think what I [A] want, try if I like.
[E] Gotta be [D] free to do what I want.
Say what I [A] want, swear if I like.
[E] Be as the [D] sun in the wind and the sky.
Be as the flea [A] or a frog, fly to the fly.
[E] I don't know [D] how, but I'm gonna try.
I just [B] gotta be free.
