[VERSE 1]
 A                                     D
 Go back home, get a job and get paid
 F#m                                 E
 Marry a girl, go home and get laid
       A                                     D
 Buy a big old house where we both can live
        F#m                                        E
 Have a couple of drinks and have a couple of kids


[PD-C HORUS]
              E            D
 Whoa oh, and I, I left my life behind 
                 E            N/C
 But I ain't got time to look back on
 

[CHORUS]
         A                D
 When I was free, when I was free
            F#m
 Free to be who I want to be
             E
 Free to not care, ahh 
         A                 D
 When I was free, free and lonely
              F#m 
 People would see me on the street
                 E
 They'd stop and stare
            A    D  F#m  E
 When I was free

A D F#m E


[VERSE 2]
 A                                   D
 Move out west, living hand to mouth 
    F#m                                 E
 My Hollywood plans have all gone south
      A                                       D
 So I move back east where I can pay the rent
                F#m                                E
 But she want a big old house with a big old fence
 

[PD-C HORUS]
              E            D
 Whoa oh, and I, I left my life behind 
                 E            N/C
 But I ain't got time to look back on
 

[CHORUS]
         A                D
 When I was free, when I was free
            F#m
 Free to be who I want to be
             E
 Free to not care, ahh 
         A                 D
 When I was free, free and lonely
              F#m 
 People would see me on the street
                 E
 They'd stop and stare

 When I was free
