G  Bm  Am
G  Bm  Am


   [Verse 1]
  D        G
I wanna be free
         C                G
Like the bluebirds flying by me
         C                G
Like the waves out on the blue sea
C                   Bm            Am
If your love has to tie me, don't try me
         F     D  Dsus4
Say good-bye


   [Verse 2]
D7         G
I wanna be free
              C               G
Don't say you love me say you like me
         C             G
But when I need you beside me
     C               Bm           Am
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me
      F    D
Oh-oh-oh


   [Chorus]
        Bm
I wanna hold your hand
     Am
Walk along the sand
         Bm
Laughing in the sun
       Am
Always having fun
      Bm
Doing all those things
    Am
Without any strings
          F    D  Dsus4
To tie me down


   [Verse 3]
D7         G
I wanna be free
         C              G
Like the warm September wind, babe
           C            G
Say you'll always be my friend, babe
       C              Bm
We can make it to the end, babe
Am                   F    D  Dsus4
Again, babe, I gotta say:


   [Outro]
D7         G
I wanna be free
C          G    D7
I wanna be free
C          G    D7
I wanna be free

C    G
