E

[Verse 1]
E                          B7
Hush little baby don't you cry
                         E
Soon the sun is going to shine
                                              B7
We're going to be free like the birds and the bees
                                E   N.C.
Running wild across the big country

[Chorus]
E                 D
Got to be free to do what I want
                A
Walk if I want, talk if I want
E                 D
Got to be free to say what I want
                     A
Make what I want and play what I want
   E                 D
As free as the birds up in the sky
                            A
As free as the bugs and the spiders and flies
  E              D
I don't know how but I'm gonna try
                    B7  E
I've just got to be freee

[Verse 2]
E               B7
And it won't be long 'cos we are right
             E
And they are wrong
                                       B7
We've got to get out of this world somehow
                                           E
We've got to be free, we've got to be free now

[Chorus]
E                 D
Got to be free to laugh when I want
                      A
Think what I want and cry if I like
E                 D
Got to be free to do what I want
                    A
Say what I want and swear if I like
E                          D
As free as the sun and the moon in the sky
                       A
As free as a flea or a proud butterfly
E                    D
I don't know how but I'm gonna try
                    B7  E
I've just got to be freee

E  B7  E

[Verse 3]
E                                            B7
Yeah, we've got to get out of this world somehow
                                           E
We've got to be free, we've got to be free now

[Chorus]
E                 D
Got to be free to do what I want
                   A
Walk if I want and talk if I want
E                 D
Got to be free to say what I want
                     A
Make what I want and play what I want
     E                        D
Man, I've got to be proud and stand up straight
                           A
And let people see I ain't nobody's slave
     E                D
I've got to be free before it's too late
          A         B7
I've just got to be free
E                 D
Got to be free to do what I want
                A
Walk if I want, talk if I want
