[Verse 1]
           A
Oooh there used to be a time when I thought I had the answers
D                                         D C
Answers to the questions that nobody knew
A                        F#
Used to be a time when I had some time
    E                            D
But when I had the time I didn't know what to do
A
Wasted all those years never gettin any younger
D                                           D   C
Times kept a-changin but I still got the hunger
A                   F#
Only trouble is the walls are closin in
    E                          D
Sometimes I wanna give it all away

[Chorus]
D7        D6 D  A
I just wanna be free
                 E
Ah free like the wind
    E  D   C#m
And if the wind fills my sails
         D                  E
Then I'm never coming back again

[Verse 2]
           A
Maybe I'll head down south to New Orleans
D                                                      D C
Wouldn't have no taxes cause I wouldn't have the means
A                              F#
Looking for a genie that could fill my dreams
    E                         D
But dreams become reality and real ain't what it seems to be

[Chorus]
D7        D6 D  A
I just wanna be free
                 E
Oh free like the wind
    E  D   C#m
And if the wind fills my sails
         D                  E
Then I'm never coming back again
D7        D6 D  A
I just wanna be free
                 E
Oh free like the wind
    E  D   C#m
And if the wind fills my sails
         D                  E
Then I'm never coming back again

[Bridge]
D                         Dm
Sick for the cure on this roller coaster ride
       A                            F#
It can take you real low and it can get you real high
            D                          E
Just passin time, but time ain't on my side
E7
Oh, guitar

[Chorus]
D7        D6 D  A
I just wanna be free
                 E
Oh free like the wind
    E  D   C#m
And if the wind fills my sails
         D                  E
Then I'm never coming back again
D7        D6 D  A
I just wanna be free
                 E
Oh free like the wind
    E  D   C#m
And if the wind fills my sails
         D                  E
Then I'm never coming back again
D7        D6 D  A
I just wanna be free
                   E
Free free like the wind
    E  D   C#m
And if the wind fills my sails
         D                  E    D
Then I'm never coming back again
