[Intro]
D-C-G
[Verse]
D C G D D C G D
Staring at the dark again you left you silhouette upon my pillow
D C G D D C G D
Right inside the night I'm waiting for the light seems like I'm in the middle
[2 bar break]
D C G D D C G D
Searching for some thing that I can't touch or sometimes can't even believe in
D C G D D C G
Cradled by the hands of fate the faith that sometimes wraps around too tight so tight
[Chorus]
D C G A D D C G
They call me freeeee, but I call me fool
[2 bar break]
(same rhythm and chords)
Now I look back at April, but she won't look back at me, oh no no
So I pray in May for June to stay, but she just came to wash into the sea, away
[Chorus]
D C G A D D C G
They call me freeeee, but I call me fool
[2 bar break]
(On this next part, the rhythm changes slightly, slowing down with no instrumental measures between lyrics.0

Slipped down to Mexico started messin' with her yellow afro

Slipped down between the sheets started talking 'bout Pistol Pete

Slipped down to the African started talking 'bout what she can do
D C G
And here we are again back where we started
D C G D D C G
Slipped down to Mexico you left your silhouette on my pillow yeah, yeah
D C G
Now I'm right inside the night I'm waiting for the light seems I'm in the
D C G D
seems like I'm always in the middle
They call me freeeeeeeeee
freeeeeeeeeeee
freeeeeeeeeeee
but I call me a
[Ending]
