[Verse 1]

E                 C#m  B      A
Saw a bird with a tear in his eye
E                      B     E
Walking to New Orleans my oh my
E                          C#m B  A
Hey now Bird, wouldn't you rather die?
E                                B       E
Than walk this world when you're born to fly?

             A                 B
If I was the sun, I'd look for shade
E                       E/F#   E/G#  A
If I was a bed, I would stay   un    made
C#m        B         A     E
If I was a river I'd run uphill
            A   B           E      A
If you call me   you know I will
   C#m      B               E
If you call me   you know I will


[Chorus]

E   B   E     E   D    A
Ooo Freedom - Ooo Liberty
E     B         E
O. . .Leave me alone
   C#m  B  A   B   E     A
To find my own way home
   C#m  B  A   B   E
To find my own way home


[Verse 2]

E                              C#m    B      A
Say what I mean and I don't give a damn
E                               B          E
I do believe and I am who I am
E                     C#m  B  A
Hey now Mama come and take my hand
E                                       B            E
Whole lotta shakin' all over this land

            A                      B
If I was an eagle I'd dress like a duck
E                       C#m   B      A
Crawl like a lizard and honk like a truck
C#m        B            A     E
If I get a notion I'll climb this tree
            A   B           E      A
or chop it down and you can't stop me
   C#m      B               E
Chop it down and you can't stop me


[Chorus]

E   B   E     E   D    A
Ooo Freedom - Ooo Liberty
E     B         E
O. . .Leave me alone
   C#m  B  A   B   E     A
To find my own way home
   C#m  B  A   B   E
To find my own way home


[Verse 3]

E                                 C#m   B    A
Went to the well but the water was dry
E                                    B        E
Dipped my bucket in the clear blue sky
E                        C#m   B     A
Looked in the bottom and what did I see?
E                                             B             E
The whole damned world looking back at me

            A                      B
If I was a bottle I'd spill for love
E                     C#m   B    A
Sake of mercy I would kill for love
C#m         B        A       E
If I was a liar I'd lie for love
            A   B           E      A
Sake of my baby I'd die for love
          C#m  B           E
Sake of my baby I'd die for love


[Chorus]

E   B   E     E   D    A
Ooo Freedom - Ooo Liberty
E     B         E
O. . .Leave me alone
   C#m  B  A   B   E     A
To find my own way home
   C#m  B  A   B   E
To find my own way home
