SOTD for Saturday, October 6, 2012

I've been singing this one in a key that was too high for me for 40 years because it's the key that I could figure out and play on the guitar. Now I have more tools for transposing. Here are the lyrics and chords:

I Wanna Be Free:The Monkees.
Album - The Monkees...#1 in USA in 1966 and
#1 in UK in 1967.

#1.
D G C G
I wanna be free..like the bluebirds flying by me,
C G
like the waves out on the blue sea.
C Bm Am F D
If your love has to tie me, don't try me..say good-bye.

#2.
D G C G
I wanna be free..don't say you love me, say you like me.
C G C
But when I need you beside me, stay close enough to
Bm Am F D
guide me, confide in me..whoa..oh..oh.

CHORUS:
Bm Am
I wanna hold yur hand..walk along the sand,
Bm Am
laughing in the sun, always having fun.
Bm Am
Doing all those things without any strings
F D
to tie me down.

#3.
D G C G
I wanna be free..like the warm September wind, Babe.
C G C
Say you'll always be my friend, Babe..we can make it
Bm Am F D
to the end, Babe..just once again, Babe..I have to say..

CHORUS:
Bm Am
I wanna hold yur hand..walk along the sand,
Bm Am
laughing in the sun, always having fun.
Bm Am
Doing all those things without any strings
F D
to tie me down.

OUTRO:
D G C G C G
I wanna be free...I wanna be free..I wanna be free..(Fade.)
