One morning in June some twenty years ago
F C
I was born a rich man's son
C
I had everything that money could buy
F C
but freedom - I had none
[Chorus]
C
I've been lookin' for freedom
I've been lookin' so long
I've been lookin' for freedom
Am G C
still the search goes on
C
I've been lookin' for freedom
since I left my home town
I've been lookin' for freedom
Am G C
still it can't be found
[Verse 2]
C
I headed down the track, my baggage on my back
F G C
I left the city far behind
C
walkin' down the road, with my heavy load
F G C
tryin' to find some peace of mind
C Am
father said you'll be sorry, son,
F G C
if you leave your home this way
C Am
and when you realize the freedom money buys
F C
you'll come running hoooome some day
[Chorus]
C
I've been lookin' for freedom
I've been lookin' so long
I've been lookin' for freedom
Am G C
still the search goes on
C
I've been lookin' for freedom
since I left my home town
I've been lookin' for freedom
Am G C
still it can't be found
[Instrumental] (x8)
C
[Verse 3]
C
I paid a lotta dues, had plenty to lose
F G C
travelling across the land
C
Worked on a farm, got some muscle in my arm
F G C
but still I'm not a self-made man
C Am
I'll be on the run for many years to come
F G C
I'll be searching door to door
C Am
but, given some time, some day I'm gonna find
F C
the freedom (freedom, freedom) I've been searching for
[Chorus]
C
I've been lookin' for freedom
I've been lookin' so long
I've been lookin' for freedom
Am G C
still the search goes on
C
I've been lookin' for freedom
since I left my home town
I've been lookin' for freedom
Am G C
still it can't be found (x2)
