Standard (EADGBE)

Some people think they're free

 if they get to do just what they want to do

 and do nothing, nothing else

Some people want to lead their life

 others want to follow but it's ok

 cuz every man got to walk his own way

Don't be hesitating there's no contemplating

no there is no waiting - you got to live free

Wealth ain't necessary some think it's to scary

quite the contrary - you got to live free

Some people complicate their lives others keep it simple

 and that's a little bit closer to the truth that we all seek

We pledge allegiance to anything that takes our mind away

Freedom ain't cheap, naw freedom ain't easy to get

Don't let go some let go

Don't be hesitating there's no contemplating

no there is no waiting - you got to live free

Wealth ain't necessary some think it's to scary

quite the contrary - you got to live free

All them things you say all them things you do

they won't mean a thing if you don't live free

All them things we say all them things we do

they won't mean a thing if we don't live free
