INTRO:
E5 (8 bars)
[E5]
I don't know what you want from me
[C#m7]
Or what you think a love ought to be
[E5]
I want something that's open and strong
[C#m7]
As the country this road's moving on
[E5]
From the mountain to the valley
[C#m7]
From the ocean to the alley
[E5]
From the highway to the river
[C#m7]
One emotion to deliver
[A] [B]
One heart, one way, one love
[A] [B]
To share but not to chain
That's freedom
[E]
It's a song of the heart
[F#m]
A race in the wind
[B]
A light in the dark
[A]
That's freedom
[E]
It's a reason to live
[F#m]
And after the rain
[B]
Rekindle the spark
[A] [E]
Let freedom ring
[E5]
I don't know why it takes so long
[C#m7]
To remember
What the world's doin' wrong
[E5]
Never wanted to shove my plan or another
[C#m7]
Who can't understand
[A]
All I want is a fast lane
[B]
To where the road across this plain
Won't take you
[A]
I want something you understand
[B]
To make us stand proud
As nothing else can
[E]
That's freedom
[E]
It's a song of the heart
[F#m]
A race in the wind
[B]
A light in the dark
[A] [E]
That's freedom
[E]
It's a reason to live
[F#m]
And after the rain
[B]
Rekindle the spark
[A] [E]
Let freedom ring
[E]
It's a measure of trust
[F#m]
When love is alive
[B]
It's tender and tough
[A] [E]
That's freedom
[E]
It's all love is about
[F#m] [B]
This opening up and letting out
[A] [E]
Let freedom ring
[E5]
From the mountain to the valley
[C#m7]
From the ocean to the alley
[E5]
From the highway to the river
[C#m7]
One emotion to deliver
[A] [B] [A]
One heart, one way, one love
[B]
To share but not to chain
[E]
That's freedom
[E]
It's a song of the heart
[C#m7]
A race in the wind
[B]
A light in the dark
[A] [E]
That's freedom
[E]
It's a reason to live
[C#m7]
And after the rain
[B]
Rekindle the spark
[A]
Let freedom ring
[E]
It's a measure of trust
[C#m7]
When love is alive
[B]
It's tender and tough
[A]
That's freedom
[B]
It's all love is about
[C#m7]
This opening up and letting out
[B] [A] [E]
Let freedom ring
