Free as the wind
View chords used in this chart
AmYesterday's world is a dream like a E river that runs through my mind
Made of Dm fields and the white pebbled G7 stream that I Cmaj7 Knew as a E child
AmButterfly wings in the sun taught me E all that I needed to see
For they sDm7ang G7 sang to my Cmaj7 heart "Fmaj7Oh look at Dm6 me! E7 Look at Amme,
Am free as the Dm7 wind ,G7 free as the Cmaj7 wind ,Fmaj7 that is the Dm6 way E7 you should Ambe
AmLove was the dream of my life and I E gave it the best I knew how
So it Dm always brings tears to my G7 eyes when I Cmaj7 think of it E now.
AmGone like the butterfly days and the E youth that I once used to be
But my Dm7 heart G7 still hears a Cmaj7 voice Fmaj7 telling me "Dm6Look! E7 and you'll Amsee,
Am free as the Dm7 wind ,G7 free as the Cmaj7 wind ,Fmaj7 that is the Dm6 way E7 you should Ambe
AmSo there's no regret that I feel for the E bitter sweer taste of it all.
If you Dm love there's a chance you may G7 fly ,if youCmaj7 fall, well, you E fall.
AmRather the butterfly's life, to have E lived for a day and be free,
For my Dm7 heart G7 still hears a vCmaj7oice Fmaj7 telling me "Dm6Look! E7 and you'll Amsee,
Am free as the Dm7 wind ,G7 free as the Cmaj7 wind ,Fmaj7 that is the Dm6 way E7 you should Ambe
