Been Set Free
By Peter Himmelman
>From the album "Skin"
transcribed by Tony Perry (tp@tunes.microserve.com)


I capo this on the third fret for an interesting effect and
because peter is a baritone and i'm a tenor.


G arpeggio
G - C - G - C

G       C     G           C     G          C     Em     D
I been drivin sixteen hours, this rain is like a metronome

G        C     G                     C     G              C   m     D
and on my radio they're talking bout Jesus. Talkin all about coming home.

Am                          C          Am                Em
Well I don't know a thing about it. I close my ears and live without it

Am                C                  Em     D
you can hear too much when you're alone.

G              C     G           C      G              C                Em     D
Like children's voices and lovers moaning or a dry wind blowing through a
river bed

G           C      G              C           G              C      Em         D
All these memories, well they're all wrapped up Like a ball of yarn inside
my head

Am                            C       Am                        Em
Now a semi's moving up behind me. Its headlights they all but blind me.

Am                                 C                Em    (D)
But it's funny, for the first time I can see.


Em                 C          G                C
I have believed in money, but all I got was greed
Em                 C              G                C
I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed
Em                  C        G                        C
I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me
Em       C                 D                             Em
If I had only believed in love I could have been set free.

G           C       G           C      G            C    Em            D
I often wonder does it matter or is this all a worthless joke

G           C     G             C       G         C         Em          D
are we just atoms conceived in silence awaiting our turn to fly like smoke

Am                 C               Am                                Em
I'd do anything to lay beside you, I'd bring you all the things that I
denied you

Am             C                        Em    (D)
I'd say the words I seldom spoke

Em                        C              G                C
I have believed in money, but all I got was greed
Em                        C                     G                C
I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed
Em                        C              G                                C
I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me
Em               C                 D                                    Em
If I had only believed in love I could have been set free.

(break - chorus)

Em                 C          G                C
I have believed in money, but all I got was greed
Em                 C              G                C
I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed
Em                  C        G                        C
I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me
Em               C         D
If I had only believed in love.
Em               C         D
If I had only believed in love.
Em               C         D
If I had only believed in love.
                                          Em
I could have been set free
