Tuning: DADGBD
Capo: 1st Fret



Listen for rhythm. Also, listen for the 3p0 at the end of the measures (On the low 
D-string, pull-off the F to the D as you strum the D chord below). The song gets its feeling 
mostly from rhythm , so listen for the subtle nuances and build ups in the strumming.
I'm unsure of exactly what these chords are because the high e is dropped to d. I will 
refer them just as their roots: D, C1, C2, and B.

INTRO: D5 C1 B5



VERSE
        D5
i was born in a lighthouse
                    C1
where my mother lay
               B5                     D5
and she wont wake for no shouting


        D5
i was raised by the water
                       C1
by the crippling waves
          B5                         D5
and the gulls gave me my singing voice


PRECHORUS
           C1
when the devil came to visit me
          B5
he said son i am your enemy
         D5
fear me
         C1
but it came to my surprise
        B5                        D5
i was drawn by the fire





VERSE
            D5
i set off west in the springtime
                      C1
before the flowers had bloomed
           B5                             D5
and the frost and ice followed me

         D5
i met a lot of fine women
                              C1
with the small of their backs
  B5                              D5
shining like the crescent moon




PRECHORUS
           C1
when the finest came to visit me
          B5
she said son i am your enemy
    D5
fear me
        C1
but it came as no surprise
        B5                   D5
i was drawn by the fire


CHORUS



 D5
hey
                          C5
i am looking for freedom
         B5                          D5
in the wild eyes of the dancing girls
 D5
hey
                          C5
i am looking for freedom
        B5                   D5
in the open arms of america




VERSE
i was told to find jesus
in a stained glass church
where the light shines red like blood

but the eyes of his children
were so bitterly burned
that i could not stand to look at them


PRECHORUS
when he finally came to visit me
he was dressed in the rags of poverty

and it came as no surpass
it came as no surprise



CHORUS
hey
i am looking for freedom
in the wild eyes of the dancing girls
hey
i am looking for freedom
in the open arms of america
