One C morning in June some twenty years ago
F I was born a rich man's C son
I C had everything that money could buy
but F freedom - I had C none
Chorus
C I've been lookin' for freedom
I've been lookin' so long
I've been lookin' for freedom
Am still the G search goes C on
C I've been lookin' for freedom
since I left my home town
I've been lookin' for freedom
Am still it G can't be C found
Verse 2
C I headed down the track, my baggage on my back
I F left the city G far be C hind
C walkin' down the road, with my heavy load
F tryin' to find some G peace of C mind
C father said you'll be Am sorry, son,
F if you leave your G home this C way
and C when you realize the fre Am edom money buys
y F ou'll come running hoooome some C day
Chorus
C I've been lookin' for freedom
I've been lookin' so long
I've been lookin' for freedom
Am still the G search goes C on
C I've been lookin' for freedom
since I left my home town
I've been lookin' for freedom
Am still it G can't be C found
C X8
Verse 3
I C paid a lotta dues, had plenty to lose
F travelling a G cross the C land
C Worked on a farm, got some muscle in my arm
but F still I'm not a G self-made C man
I'll C be on the run for Am many years to come
F I'll be searching G door to C door
but, C given some time, some Am day I'm gonna find
F the freedom (freedom, freedom) I've been searching C for
Chorus
C I've been lookin' for freedom
I've been lookin' so long
I've been lookin' for freedom
Am still the G search goes C on
C I've been lookin' for freedom
since I left my home town
I've been lookin' for freedom
Am still it G can't be C found X2
