One morning you wake to find
F C
you are shackled to your bed
Am F C
and bound and gagged
F
Oh my, what a predicament
Intro x1
C
And further, further on
F C
the day grows long
Am C
Your sister marries a nice young man
F Em
and they build a house of diamonds
C
But the sun is snuffed by the curtains
F C
Can't someone come untie you?
Am F C
But there is too much work to do
Am C
Yes, they all admire you
C F Em
You are free
Am
You are already free
G Gp
You are alll-already free
Intro x2
C F Em
You are free from the greed of your culture
Am G
You are free from the lust for the luster
C F Em
of the diamond houses in the city's cluster
Am G Am G
From your own ego, from your own blunder
C F Em
Yes, you own the stars, you own the thunder
Am G
But you have to share it all
C F Em
Yes, you own the stars, you own the thunder
Am G
But you have to share
C F Em
You are freeeeee
Am
You are already free
G Gp C
You are alll already free

NOTE: His House of Diamonds cover is played differently than the actual song (the number
of times he repeats the intro progression throughout the song is less than the original recording)
