[Verse 1]
C                                  G
I am on a free ride, I'd be fit to be tied
C                 F
  I don't need no kind of pride
F                   G    C
Not with me on this free ride

But it's still a free ride


[Verse 3]
C                                  G

Reezy peezy I'm like dag, cold and greezy in a paper bag
C                   F

C                                        G

I've been sailing on the bounty, I've seen Captain Bly
D
Crossin' into the county
       F                   G
With a mutiny on this free ride


[Verse 8]
C                               G
  Hey, hey - I tried, oh sorry again I just lied

F                                     G    C
But I'm just blown by the winds of my free ride
