D                      A         
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh 
B                     G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, woah 
 
D                        
Whenever I'm dressed cool, 
A                       B
My parents put up a fight.  
G
(Uh huh, uh huh)  
D                       
And if I'm a hot shot,  
A                       B
Mom will cut my hair at night. 
G
(Uh huh, uh huh) 
D                      
And in the morning, 
A                     B
I'm short of my identity. 
G
(Uh huh, uh huh) 
D                        
I scream Mom and Dad, 
A                           B
Why can't I be who I wanna be? 
G
(Uh huh, uh huh) to bad. 

B                       A
I just wanna be myself, 
D                                    G
And I want you to love me for who I am. 
B                       A
I just wanna be myself, 
D                               G
And I want you to know, I am my hair. 

Chorus

D                               A

That I'll die living just as free as my hair.

I'm just here trying to play cool on the streets 
D                             A
I've had enough, enough, enough, 
B                           G

As free as my hair, hair, hair, 
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair, 
Hair, hair, hair, 
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair. 
As free as my hair, hair, hair, 
Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair

Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair. 

B                                    (B all the way through the verse)
Sometimes I waltz around, 
Put on red highlights. 
(Uh huh, uh huh) 
Just because I want my friends, 
To think I'm dynamite. 
(Uh huh, uh huh) 
And on Friday rocks in, 
High school dance. 
(Uh huh, uh huh) 
I got my bangs too hot, 
That I don't stand a chance. 
(Uh huh, uh huh) a chance.

And I want you to love me for who I am. 
B                       A
I just wanna be myself, 
D                               G
And I want you to know, I am my hair.
