[Verse 1]
E B7
Hush little baby don't you cry
E
Soon the sun is going to shine
B7
We're going to be free like the birds and the bees
E N.C.
Running wild across the big country
[Chorus]
E D
Got to be free to do what I want
A
Walk if I want, talk if I want
E D
Got to be free to say what I want
A
Make what I want and play what I want
E D
As free as the birds up in the sky
A
As free as the bugs and the spiders and flies
E D
I don't know how but I'm gonna try
B7 E
I've just got to be freee
[Verse 2]
E B7
And it won't be long 'cos we are right
E
And they are wrong
B7
We've got to get out of this world somehow
E
We've got to be free, we've got to be free now
[Chorus]
E D
Got to be free to laugh when I want
A
Think what I want and cry if I like
E D
Got to be free to do what I want
A
Say what I want and swear if I like
E D
As free as the sun and the moon in the sky
A
As free as a flea or a proud butterfly
E D
I don't know how but I'm gonna try
B7 E
I've just got to be freee
[Interlude]
E B7 E
[Verse 3]
E B7
Yeah, we've got to get out of this world somehow
E
We've got to be free, we've got to be free now
[Chorus]
E D
Got to be free to do what I want
A
Walk if I want and talk if I want
E D
Got to be free to say what I want
A
Make what I want and play what I want
E D
Man, I've got to be proud and stand up straight
A
And let people see I ain't nobody's slave
E D
I've got to be free before it's too late
A B7
I've just got to be free
E D
Got to be free to do what I want
A
Walk if I want, talk if I want
