Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I fell in love with this song and have played it on an acoustic like this for a
while then when reimagine was released I played along with rediscover (no parallels)
and I thought its pretty close, its just a fun song to play
A couple little things:
I like to do single strums in the intro and on the lines ‘all to be free like this’,
doing a little muted strumming pattern to cover for the little drum fill bit on
‘happiness’ before bringing the chords back in
Listen to the strumming patterns in the breaks, the one after the intro and the one
after the chorus are different but if you want you can get away with playing them
the same
I just do single strums in the instrumental break after the bridge
Because I also sing, you can get away with not playing at all on the last ‘all to be
free like this’ idk I just think it ties the ending together
In the second half of the verses I came up with little picking thing, the only
reason I really do it is because it sounds cool I'm not 100% on accuracy, I just
use the chords to save confusing fingering but anyway:
-------0-----------3-----------0----------2----

Have fun, it’s a happy song :)
Capo 3
Cadd9 G Em
This is happiness, to be everything at once.
Cadd9 G Em
Be unblinded, be unlearned, be unbridled and unburned.
Cadd9 G Em D x2
Cadd9 G Em D
Heavy on our heels, the rocky ground we leave behind.
Cadd9 G Em D
Tassels streaming from our necks, we cast a wake amidst the wind.
Cadd9 G Em D
We're the roamers to the road, barebacked, spirit and in mind.
Cadd9 G Em
Oh, to be free like this.
Cadd9 G Em D
This is happiness, to be everything at once.
Cadd9 G Em D
Be unblinded, be unlearned, be unbridled and unburned.
Cadd9 G Em D Cadd9
This is happiness. I'm fearless and I'm free,
G Em D
With the open road and the world beneath my feet.
Cadd9 G Em D x2
Cadd9 G Em D
With splinters in our teeth, we're driven from our parallels,
Cadd9 G Em D
Our path a prison, bound to walk where countless feet already fell.
Cadd9 G Em D
But there's a wildness in our heart, that we've forgotten in our march,
Cadd9 G Em
All to be free like this.
Cadd9 G Em D
This is happiness, to be everything at once.
Cadd9 G Em D
Be unblinded, be unlearned, be unbridled and unburned.
Cadd9 G Em D Cadd9
This is happiness. I'm fearless and I'm free,
G Em D
With the open road and the world beneath my feet.
Cadd9 G Em D (G)
We're branded and we're burdened from the moment we are born.
Cadd9 G Em D (G)
We're domestic and we're discontent, and we're grinding our gums raw
Cadd9 G Em D (G)
Forget your feet and where they fall,
Cadd9 G Em D (G)
Lift your head, carry on.
Cadd9 G Em D (G)
No fear, just faith, no bit, just break the path and let it lead you.
Cadd9 G Em D (G)
Unknown, unblind, run free, run wild and leave behind what holds you down.
Cadd9 G Em
G Em D
Cadd9 G Em D
Heavy on our heels, the rocky ground we leave behind.
