Simple And Free

Simple and Free-Vocal Few 

CAPO 4

VERSE

G 
My path in life was chosen

Em 
In a flurry of emotion

C                                            G     D
You know the music seemed to sweep me off my feet

G 
And I didn’t have much choice

Em 
But to follow her clear voice

C                                             G    D
To try to find the things she had in store for me


PRECHORUS 

Em                                 C 
I could have been a scientist but I don’t mean to whine

                G                               D 
It’s just that I am so much more than what you see

Em                                   C 
I could have been a million things to gain respect from kings and queens

        G 
But I chose a minstrels life

               D 
Simple and free simple and free simple and free

CHORUS

G                                     B
I don’t mind the fact these musical notes

                                     Em
Haunt my mind and resonate from my bones

                            C
Simple and free is what I said

                           G  B  Em B 
Simple and free ‘til I’m dead

VERSE

My path in life was chosen in a flurry of emotion
You know the spirit seemed to take me by the hand
And I didn’t have much choice but to listen for his voice
And try to help my boy as he became a man

PRECHORUS

I could have been a novelist
Unwinding worlds that don’t exist or a hundred other things I do believe
I could have written you a symphony
Become the queen of everything
But I chose a minstrels life
Simple and free simple and free simple and free

CHORUS

INTERLUDE
C    G    D 

BRIDGE
(Chorus Chords) 

I lost myself inside these musical notes
The melody swells and takes me home
I’ve never been alone
I will always find rest
Simple and free ‘til I’m dead
