    I follow my heart       and leave my head to ponder,

    deep in this love, no man can shake.
C                      -  Em
    I follow my heart       and leave my mind to wonder,
D                                C
    is this love worth the sacrifices I make?

Freedom Now
Tom: G
Intro: G C G (Twice)

 

(G)
They throwed him in jail
And they kept him there
  C              G
Hoping soo he'd die
That his body and spirit would waste away
           C             G    C
And soon after that his mind
                        G    C
But every day is born a fool
                            G     C
One who thinks that he can rule
                          G     C
One who says tomorrow's mine
                          D     G
One who wakes one day to find
The prison doors open the shackles broken
      C                G
And chaos in the street

            C              D           G
Everybody sing we're free free free free
            C              D           G
Everybody sing we're free free free free
            C              D           G
Everybody sing we're free free free free

They throwed him in jail
And they kept him there
   C                 G
Hoping his memory'd die
That the people forget how he once led
                  C               G     C
And fought for justice in their lives
                         G    C
But every day is born a man
                              G     C
Who hates what he can't understand
                              G     C
Who thinks the answer is to kill
                                  D     
Who thinks his actions are god's will
         C                D         G
And he thinks he's free free free free
         C                D         G
Yes he thinks he's free free free free
      C              D          G       C
He thinks he's free free free free
                        G
Soon must come the day
                                   Em               
Where the righteous have their way
                       B
Unjustly tried are free
                               C(bar)
And people live in peace I say
                    G
Give the man release
                                  Em
Go on and set your conscience free
                         B
Right the wrongs you made
                             C(bar)  G   C(bar)  G
Even a fool can have his day
       C            D           G

 (A) 
You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere 
Maybe we make a deal, Maybe together we can get somewhere 
Anyplace is better, Starting from zero got nothing to lose 
Maybe we'll make something, But me myself I got nothing to prove
 
You got a fast car, And I got a plan to get us out of here 
I been working at the convenience store, Managed to save just a little bit of money 
We won't have to drive too far, Just 'cross the border and into the city 
You and I can both get jobs, And finally see what it means to be living 
You see my old man's got a problem, He live with the bottle that's the way it is 
He says his body's too old for working, I say his body's too young to look like his 
My mama went off and left him, She wanted more from life than he could give 
I said somebody's got to take care of him, So I quit school and that's what I did 
You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so we can fly away 
We gotta make a decision, We leave tonight or live and die this way 
                           D 
I remember we were driving driving in your car 
     A 
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk 
F#m 
City lights lay out before us 
         E9   
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder 
  D      F#m     E 
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged 
   D      F#m     E                    D           E        A 
And I, I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone 
You got a fast car, And we go cruising to entertain ourselves 
You still ain't got a job, And I work in a market as a checkout girl 
I know things will get better, You'll find work and I'll get promoted 
We'll move out of the shelter, Buy a big house and live in the suburbs 
                            D 
I remember we were driving driving in your car 
     A

   D F#m      E                              D       E                 (A) 
And I, I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone 
You got a fast car, And I got a job that pays all our bills 
You stay out drinking late at the bar, See more of your friends than you do of your kids 
I'd always hoped for better, Thought maybe together you and me would find it 
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere, So take your fast car and keep on driving 
                           D
