This is a by ear transcription of this classic song. All mistakes are provided free by Malcolm Thomas.
Good luck and hopefully the chords will end up in the same place that I put them in.

Intro     F#    F#m    Db    Ab7    F7    Bb7    Eb    Ab7    

Db         Bbm          Ebm        F#      D    Bbm      A   Bbm
We haven?t got a penny, we haven?t any money at all
          A       Fdim   G#7             Fm7     Adim       Ab7
But we?re rich as millionaires, cause we haven?t worries or cares
Db                          Ebm                    Db      C      Db  
We?re just two tumble weeds, that keep on tumbling along
       Fm               C       Fm      E       Ab
On the highways, on the byways, we?re singing a song

Chorus
Db    Fm            Ab7             Db     F#                Ab       Bb7
Free, everything we have in life is free, things we couldn?t buy with LSD  (i.e. pounds, shillings, pence)
Ebm              Ab7               Db       Ab    
Someone put them there for you and me 
Db  A7 Ab7                       Db     F#            Fm7               Bb7
Free, who would pay to hear a symphony, listen to the song birds in the trees
F#                Ab        Db      Ddim    Ebm     Ab  
Song birds sing a lovely melody

Ebm           Ab             Db         Ab                       Db
We?ve got the arches and the alleys, to shelter us from winter?s cold
Ebm           F                   Bbm          Ebm       Ab            Ab7
We?ve got the green hills and the valleys when summer is spreading the gold

Db    Ab                           Db   F#          Fm7           B7
Free, no one could be luckier than we, nature never had a lock or key
F#             Ab              Db       Ab    
Isn?t that the way it ought to be

(talked over the chorus chords)    Db       Fm     Ab7     Db      F#    Ab    Bb7      Ebm      Ab     Db     
 Ab      Db    A7    Ab7       Db       F#     Fm7    Bb7       F#    Ab    Db   Ddim    Ebm    Ab  

I  listen to the patter of the rain drops, and over the twilight, and the song that the birds make
The rainbow, with his divine chord of colour harmony
Giving promise of sunshine to come, and the sun bursting through
Is a strain of glory, turning a world of blue harmonies into a beautiful golden rhapsody



Ebm           Ab             Db         Ab                       Db
We?ve got the arches and the alleys, to shelter us from winter?s cold
Ebm           F                   Bbm          Ebm       Ab            Ab7
We?ve got the green hills and the valleys when summer is spreading the gold
Db    Ab                           Db  F#           Fm7           B7
Free, no one could be luckier than we, nature never had a lock or key
F#             Ab              Db
Isn?t that the way it ought to be
      F#7           Db
We?re saying, just free
