From: The Man from La Mancha (9452301@lewis.sms.ed.ac.uk)

( little solo guitar piece)


(CHORUS)

               A                       D   
Well I'm free again, to do what i wanna do
E                        A
free again, to sing my song again
A                       D
free again, to air my longing,
                    E                 D                  A 
and to be out on my own again



           A                                D
Well I had me a girl, but she couldn't understand
E                                       A
Me and my ways, and my need to be around
A                                        D
Left her today, took my life in my hands
         E            D                A
And now i'm free again


( chorus)


           A                                     D
Well I made a mistake, and thought i could turnaround,
E                                        A
Thought i could take, a leash on my neck, around
A                                             D
Now I'm gonna make, my way to another
           E                        D                        E
Til my feet are back on the ground


(Chorus)


( Chorus again, but in different key)

D                       G
Free again, to do what i wanna do,
A                       D
Free again, to sing my song again,
D                        G
Free again, to air my longing
               A                 G                 D
to be out on my own again

(New chorus chorse with sax/guitar solo)
