  ’s freedom” by John Farnham.
E|----------------------------------
E|------------|| 

Tabbed by: Tim Norton – Australia.

Tuning: standard EADGBE

This is the album version from 
“Chain Reaction” 1990, although I 
have also tabbed out
live solo performed by Jack Jones 
(Irwin Thomas) from the 1990 
Melbourne “Chain reaction”
(on DVD). The background power 
chords are noted at the bottom of 
the page.
Great song. Good luck and enjoy!

E6                             
I want something that’s open and 
                E6/C#
strong as the country this road’s 
moving on from the

Verse 1b
E6                              
Mountain to the valley from the

highway to the river one emotion to 
deliver

love,    to share but not to chain 
(that’s freedom)

Chorus:
E                  F#m*          
It’s a song of the heart a race

in the wind a light in the dark 
(that’s freedom)
E                F#m

E6

     E6/C#
to remember what the world’s doing 
wrong
