Intro: G Bm Am D (2 x)

           G
I wanna be free
         C               G
Like the bluebirds flying by me
         C              G
Like the waves out on the blue sea
        C           Bm
If your love has to tie me
      Am            F D
Dont try me--say goodbye

            G
I wanna be free
              C               G
Don't say you love me, say you like me
         C            G
But when I need you beside me
     C               Bm
Stay close enough to guide me
    Am               F   D
Confide in me, whoa whoa

         Bm                        Am
I wanna hold your hand   Walk along the sand
         Bm                 Am
Laughing in the sun  Always having fun
       Bm
Doing all those things
      Am                      F  D
Without any strings to tie me down

            G               C            G
I wanna be free  Like the warm September wind, babe
           C               G
Say you'll always be my friend, babe
        C             Bm
We can make it to the end, babe
 Am                      F D
Again, babe  I've gotta say

          G       C          G        C    G
I wanna be free   I wanna be  free   I wanna be free.
