Freedom Road

        D                          
I guess everybody knew the way the 
A                     D
sergeant knocked her 'round,
But he laid down the law in that 
G     D/F#   Em
dusty cattle town.
    D                              
The front bar just fell silent when
     A                     Bm
 she begged him 'please no more',
    G           D           
But no-one interfered when he 
  A                  D
slapped her to the floor.

      D                            
But a young man watched the 
            A                 D
sergeant leave and knelt down by her
 side,
And a lost love was re-kindled when 
    G        D/F#   Em
she held him in her eyes.
            D                      
And in that unexpected moment, two 
A                  Bm
hearts were takin' flight,
   G                   D          
As down that moonlight highway 
  A             D
they sped into the night.

        D             G           
Freedom road, they're leavin' this
        D
 town behind.
        F#m              G     
Freedom road, there's no turning 
              A
'round this time.
               D    G             
There's no way back when two 
    D
worlds explode,
        Em        D/F#      G    
They're somewhere out there on 
   A       D
that freedom road.

     D                     
They reached the three ways 
                     A             
roadhouse, took the Barkley to the 
 D
east,
They'd head across to Queensland, 
      G       D/F#   Em
get a job out on the reef.
     D                           
Then in the rear view mirror they 
         A                Bm
saw the sergeant close behind,
      G                    D      
Their hearts were pounding harder 
        A                D
as they neared the borderline.

        D             G           
Freedom road, they're leavin' this
        D
 town behind.
        F#m              G     
Freedom road, there's no turning 
              A
'round this time.
               D    G             
There's no way back when two 
    D
worlds explode,
        Em        D/F#      G    
They're somewhere out there on 
   A       Bm
that freedom road.

 G   D  Em  D/F#  G  A  D

        D                      
For the first time in her life, 
             A              D
there was a freedom in the wind,
So when they saw the roadblock, 
            G          D/F#      
'Don't slow down', she begged of 
Em
him.
     D                         
They rolled and then burst into 
              A              Bm
flames, they didn't stand a chance,
       G                 D     
In the stillness of that ghostly 
       A                         
dawn, they reached their promised 
   D
land.

        D             G           
Freedom road, they're leaving this
         D
 world behind.
        F#m              G     
Freedom road, there's no turning 
              A
'round this time.
               D    G             
There's no way back when two 
    D
worlds explode,
        Em        D/F#      G    
They're somewhere out there on 
   A       Bm
that freedom road.
        G                    D
They're leavin' this world behind.
        F#m              G     
Freedom road, there's no turning 
              A
'round this time.
               D    G             
There's no way back when two 
    D
worlds explode,
        Em        D/F#      G    
They're somewhere out there on 
   A       D
that freedom road.
