E When my neurons conspire to direct my thoughts A Away from divorce and competitive sports E B Back to the place where all rivers run to the sea A E Then I......I shall be free A E Yes I.......I shall be free C On a see-saw in a strange land F The jackdaw sat on the cardinals hand C And the fiddlers played
And the planners plan what would be
G G7 G G7
C On a back seat in a court room F sat Molly Malone and Leopold Bloom C Until the police came down with a new broom
And swept them clean
G G7 G G7
Am
Like Geronimo Like Quinn the Eskimo
Em
Like the BlackfootAnd like the Arapaho
Am Like Crazy Horse D I'll be the last one to lay down my gun………
G C G C G G/F# Em D C D
C On the open road in a bar room F A pick up band plays a new tune C When the coloured girls sing
I feel my heart boom
G G7 G G7
C When a new song hits the right note F When a clearing in the sky saves an old boat C When an insight strikes the mote
From my own eye
G G7 G G7
Am
Like Geronimo Like Quinn the Eskimo
Em
Like BlackfootAnd like the Arapaho
Am Like Crazy Horse D I'll be the last one to lay down my gun………

G G/F# Em D They're the same beyond the next plain E I'll feel the heat of the flickering flame
E A E B7 x2

C On an African Plain by a thorn tree F My old friend Philippe is waiting for me C Quelle sera, sera
What ever will be will be
G G7 G G7
C When a friend dies and the tears rise F From that deep well that never runs dry C And the women break their bracelets
And the men take their whisky outside
G G7 G G7
Am Em Am D
G C G C G G/F# Em D C D
E In a pied 'a' terre A on the rue St Denis E The red velvet curtain pulls back to reveal B7 The place where the dark side meets the angel in me……….. E the angel in me C When my synapses pause in their quest for applause F When my ego lets go of its end of the bone C To focus instead on a love that is precious to me
G G7
F C Then I……………..I shall be free
