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: D C1 B



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


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


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





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

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




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


CHORUS



 D
hey
                          C2
i am looking for freedom
         B                          D
in the wild eyes of the dancing girls
 D
hey
                          C2
i am looking for freedom
        B                   D
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
