Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

____Verse: 1

I used to be a rolling stone, you know

If the cause was right

  I'd leave to find the answer on the road

  I used to be a heart beating for someone

But the times have changed

The less I say the more my work gets done

____Chorus:

  'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom

  From the day that I was born I've waved the flag

  Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man

  Yeah, gave me peace of mind my daddy never had

  Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love you

  Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, won't you shine a light

  Phi__la__delphia freedom, I lo_o___ove you, yes I do

____Intro:

____Verse: 2

If you choose to you can live your life alone

Some people choose the city

(Some people choose the city)

  Some others choose the good old family home

(Some others choose the good old family home)

  I like living easy without family ties (living easy)

  Till the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me

  Right between the eyes

____Chorus:

  'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom

  From the day that I was born I've waved the flag

  Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man

  Mm-mm, gave me peace of mind my daddy never had

  Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love you

  Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, won't you shine a light

  Phi__la__delphia freedom, I lo_o___ove you, yes I do

____Intro:

____Chorus: (2nd. half)

 Oh, Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love you

  Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, won't you shine a light

  Phi__la__delphia freedom, I lo_o___ove you

  Don't you know I lo_o___ove you, don't you know I lo_o___ove you

  Yes I do (Philadelphia freedom) I lo_o___ove you

  Yes I do (Philadelphia freedom) know that I lo_o___ove you

  Yes I do (Philadelphia freedom) don't you know that I lo_o___ove you

  Yes I do (Philadelphia freedom) don't you know that I lo_o___ove you
