Reasons to Be Free
by Jackie Greene
standard tuning, no capo
The strumming is a little difficult, so listen closely to the recording. I didn't type
in, but some of the "D"s switch quickly to "D4" (xx0233) and back, and the "Am"s in
pre-chorus switch to "Asus2" (002200) and back.

C5 G5
Cry, cry, mud in your eye
D5 A5
Oh, you?re going through the reasons why
C5 G5
Doing anything to justify
D5
How it got this way
C5 G5
Diamond necklace, diamond rings
D5 A5
Oh, how much more it stings
C5 G5
Watching you collect your things
D5
And what you want to say
A5 E5 D5
Ought to say, ought to say
A5 C5 D5
And you say, and you say
G5 D5 A5
That I don?t owe you nothing
C5
I never could tell that you
G5 D5 A5
You don?t need my loving
C5
Just get it from someone else
G5 D5 E5 D5 C5
C5
I just want a reason to be free from you
G5
Yes I do
C5 G5
Too much time, and too much wine
D5 A5
Cut a hole in this heart of mine
C5 G5
But I?ll lie and say I?m feeling fine
D5
Sleepin? in my clothes
C5 G5
I could be right, I could be wrong
D5 A5
To think about you while I?m gone
C5 G5
Love writes the saddest songs
D5
And that?s just how it goes
A5 E5 D5
Yes it goes, yes it goes
A5 C5 D5
And it goes, yes it goes
G5 D5 A5
Now I don?t owe you nothing
C5
I never could tell that you
G5 D5 A5
You don?t need my loving
C5
Just get it from someone else
G5 D5 E5 D5 C5
C5
I just want a reason to be free from you
G5
Yes I do
C5 G5 D5 A5 C5 G5 D5
C5 G5
Now all this pain I can?t explain
D5 A5
It?s like running out of cover in the pouring rain
C5 G5
It?s like waving goodbye to a train
D5
That?s moving down the track
C5 G5
And all I know when the day is done
D5 A5
You can?t love just anyone
C5 G5
It don?t matter where they?re going
D5
Or if they?re ever coming back
A5 E5 D5
Coming back, coming back
A5 C5 D5
Coming back, they ain?t coming back
G5 D5 A5
But I don?t owe you nothing
C5
I never could tell that you
G5 D5 A5
You don?t need my loving
C5
Just get it from someone else
G5 D5 E5 D5 C5
C5
I just want a reason to be free from you
G5
Yes I do
C5 G5 D5 A5 C5 G5 D5 D5 CG5 D5 A5 C5 G5 D5 D5 CG5 D5 A5 C5 G5 D5 D5 C5
Oh, you gonna find out? oh yeah?
