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 "Dsus4" (xx0233) and back, and the "Am"s in
pre-chorus switch to "Asus2" (002200) and back.
C G D Am C G D D
G D Am C G D D
C G
Cry, cry, mud in your eye
D Am
Oh, you’re going through the reasons why
C G
Doing anything to justify
D
How it got this way
C G
Diamond necklace, diamond rings
D Am
Oh, how much more it stings
C G
Watching you collect your things
D
And what you want to say
Am Em D
Ought to say, ought to say
Am C D
And you say, and you say
G D Am
That I don’t owe you nothing
C
I never could tell that you
G D Am
You don’t need my loving
C
Just get it from someone else
G D Em D C
C
I just want a reason to be free from you
G
Yes I do
C G
Too much time, and too much wine
D Am
Cut a hole in this heart of mine
C G
But I’ll lie and say I’m feeling fine
D
Sleepin’ in my clothes
C G
I could be right, I could be wrong
D Am
To think about you while I’m gone
C G
Love writes the saddest songs
D
And that’s just how it goes
Am Em D
Yes it goes, yes it goes
Am C D
And it goes, yes it goes
G D Am
Now I don’t owe you nothing
C
I never could tell that you
G D Am
You don’t need my loving
C
Just get it from someone else
G D Em D C
C
I just want a reason to be free from you
G
Yes I do
C G D Am C G D
C G
Now all this pain I can’t explain
D Am
It’s like running out of cover in the pouring rain
C G
It’s like waving goodbye to a train
D
That’s moving down the track
C G
And all I know when the day is done
D Am
You can’t love just anyone
C G
It don’t matter where they’re going
D
Or if they’re ever coming back
Am Em D
Coming back, coming back
Am C D
Coming back, they ain’t coming back
G D Am
But I don’t owe you nothing
C
I never could tell that you
G D Am
You don’t need my loving
C
Just get it from someone else
G D Em D C
C
I just want a reason to be free from you
G
Yes I do
C G D Am C G D D CG D Am C G D D CG D Am C G D D C
Oh, you gonna find out… oh yeah…
