Feels Like Freedom
Recorded by Jimmie Van Zant
[Intro]
C G F G x 4
C G F G C G F G
You and me and a bottle of screw-top wine
C G F G C G F G
We headed out to the lake for a little un- plug and un- wind
C G F G C G F G
In my old Silve- rado, draggin' your daddy's boat be- hind
Am F
Not a cloud in the sky on the Fourth Of July
[Chorus]
C G F G
And it felt like freedom
C G F G
It felt like breakin' those chains
C G F G
It felt like leavin' be- hind us, the troubles be- hind us
Am F C
And never lookin' back again, it felt like freedom
[Instrumental]
G F G C G F G
C G F G C G F G
Gran- daddy used to say some- things never change
C G F G C G F C
I think he must've been right, 'cause baby, it still feels the same
C G F G C G F G
When I put my arms a- round you, it takes me right back to that night
Am F
And those fireworks in your eyes, rockin' that boat on the Fourth Of July
[Chorus]
C G F G
And it feels like freedom
C G F G
It feels like breakin' those chains
C G F G
It feels like leavin' be- hind us, the troubles be- hind us
Am F C
And never lookin' back again, it feels like freedom
[Instrumental]
G F G C G F G C G F G C G F G
[Bridge]
Am F
Like two birds that just got out of the cage
Dm G
We'll stay close to- gether, baby, and fly a- way
C G F G C G F G
You and me, we got some of that Bonnie and Clyde
C G F G Am
We might look like two ordinary people, on the outside
F
But when we make love tonight ---
[Chorus]
C G F G
It'll feel like freedom
C G F G
It'll feel like breakin' those chains
C G F G
It'll feel like leavin' be- hind us, the troubles be- hind us
C G F G
And never lookin' back again
[Chorus]
C G F G
It feels like freedom
C G F G
It feels like breakin' those chains
C G F G
It feels like leavin' be- hind us, the troubles be- hind us
Am F C G F G
And never lookin' back again, it feels like freedom
[Outro]
C G F G C G F G C G F G C
It feels like freedom, yeah baby
