Based on Original version(from Peter Yarrow's very first solo album) 

Intro: D(4x) 


D            D/C#     D7            G                     D
Three horses greazing out my window brown black and white they stand

G                D               A             A7
rolling pastures they can wander free and easy is their land


Chorus:

G          A         D          G          A    D
Don't ever take away my freedom,don't ever take it away 

G              G/f#     G             D
I must cherish and keep that one part of my lives

A                             A7
and the rest we're gonna find one of these days

D
one of these days


D                   D/C#           D7
I've always thought that I've seen in my own lifetime

G                   D
an end into poverty injustice and the wars

G                                D
but now I've learned to that job it's gonna take a long, long time

A                    A7
so there's one thing that must endure


(chorus) 


D            D/C#                    D7
When I'm old I am thinking over this whole life that I have lived

G                          D           G          
if there is one final wish left to me, I will pray for the children

D              A                                     A7
yet to be born and I will pray that they will always live free


(chorus) 


G               A               D
There is a time for the singing and the sunshine

G               A               D
There is a time for the thunder and the rain

G              G/f#             G               D
There's a time for the changing all the seasons my friends

A                      A7
but there is one thing we must never ever change


(chorus)(3x)
