Chords
This has been a difficult song to transcribe (as evidenced by the lack of tabs available)
as the complex chords are often masked by layers of shoegaze-like droning and distorted fuzz.
I feel this underrated and beautiful song deserves a good transcription. I am not 100%
that this tab is completely accurate yet, so if you have any suggestions, please leave a
or e-mail [email protected].

CHORUS
(Note: judging from both the studio and live recordings of the song, the guitarist
to strum a G chord throughout the chorus as the other instruments, particularly the bass,
beneath it. However, this doesn't sound particularly good in solo arrangements, so I've
out the changing chords as best I can.)
G Free... Wanna be D7sus4 free... Gonna be Em7 free... and Cm move among the stars Fadd9 You know they really aren't so far G Feels so free... Gotta know D7sus4 free Em7 Please Cm Don't wake me from the dream Fadd9 It's really everything it seemed G I'm so free D7sus4 No black and white
