Saw Doctors - Freedom Fighters
intro: (Mandolin)
G(0023) strummed fast adding (0012) every 8th beat
C G
When a man walks out of his house one day
G D (mandolin fill - see below)
Looks up to the deep blue sky
C
Thinks about his past
G
And looks to the future
G D G
And then the answer sparkles in his eye
C G
Oh yes we're freedom fighters with mandolins
G D (FILL)
We're not here for to blow you away
C
We've got songs in our hearts
G
And guitars in our hands
G D
And we're looking for peace
G
Some fine day
(SAME CHORDS)
If you're goin' up north or way down south
Or west to Galway bay
Keep an open heart
With lots of love
Then you'll find people on your way
They'll be freedom fighters with mandolins
They won't be here for to blow you away
They'll have songs in their hearts
And guitars in their hands
And they're looking for some peace
Some fine day
GUITAR SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS (BELOW)
C G
Well he found the answer it was short and sweet
G D (FILL)
Simple for anyone to see
C
That if your soul is free
G
And your heart is in the right place
G D G
Then you know you're headin' down the right street
C G
Oh yes we're freedom fighters with mandolins
G D (FILL)
We're not here for to blow you away
C
We've got songs in our hearts
G
And guitars in our hands
G D
And we're looking for peace
G
Some fine day
