Free Now(Chords)

	        


Verse 1:
 
F#m   D 
I wrote this song for my father 
A           E                        F#m   D    A   E 
Sometimes I feel he never gave a damn about me 
      F#m       D        A 
Though he raised me like he should 
 E              F#m     D            A   E 
Did he understand me? No, no, I don't think so. 

I wrote this song for my mother  
She had to leave me, when I was younger  
She said son, seek this life, and keep an open mind 
But in my mind's eye...  


      D   F#m 
I am free now 
          A               E 
Free to live without my fears 
      D   F#m 
I believe now 
    A               E 
There's a reason why I'm here. 
                   F#m  D  A 
It's to try and do good 
E                    F#m      D   A  E 
It's to try and do better. (ooh oh) 


Verse 2:
 
Who will I be for my daughter? 
This little baby, she means the world to me 
Will I relive their mistakes? 
Or do things the right way 
For her sake. 


I am free now 
Free to live without my fears 
I believe now 
There's a reason why I'm here 
      D 
Can I be a man? 
         F#m 
One that understands 
         A               E  
How to love more patiently  
         D   F#m 
I'll be free now 
         A    E 
I'll be free now. 



Bridge:
 
         D                         A                
And we dream of the day, when our kids can play 
          E 
In the streets with no fear of them being taken away 
          D                      A 
Fathers raise their sons with respect and love  
         E 
Handle anger and pain with no need for no guns 
       D                        A 
If we hope to be free it takes you and me 
         E                 
To start over here and now 
        D                  A               E 
'Cause this world is, the way it is, it's how we raise our kids. 

F#m   D         A   E 
I wrote this song for my mother, wrote this song for our father 
So hopefully we can come together  
And hopefully make things a little better. 


D   F#m   A   E 
I am free now 
Free to live without my fears 
I believe now 
There's a reason why I'm here. 
      D 
Can I be a man? 
         F#m 
One that understands 
         A               E  
How to love more patiently  
         D   F#m 
I'll be free now 
         A    E 
I'll be free now.
