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!
This tab is from this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQNPryUIWXk). It's pretty simple, just how
they play it acoustically with just guitar and vocals. You don't NEED to tune your guitar down because
the entire thing is just chords, but tuning it down retains that heady low sound that drives the song. It
doesn't sound as good with higher notes in the guitar.
All chords are in reference to the neck, so the B is really an A but you'll just play a B shape in the
full step down tuning.
[Intro]
(I'm pretty sure the A# was a mistake, but you can play it if you want.)
A# E (he really just hits the E string and lets it ring)
B E G#m E

Where the drugs and the drinks are free, yeah.
E
Tied to the rat race,

A big bird in a small cage.

You're tied with a tightrope,

And you wiggle but it won't let go.
E
You wanna be a free bird,
G#m
You wanna be a free lover, see

You gotta run from the shepherd.

Run, run away with me.

The last F# is in parenthesis because it's just a transition chord.
And that's it! If you're having any issues with the strumming, I'd recommend just watching the video
and playing along. It's very simple.
