E                          B7
Hush little baby don't you cry

                         E
Soon the sun is going to shine

                                              B7
We're going to be free like the birds and the bees

                                E   N.C.
Running wild across the big country
[Chorus]
E                 D
Got to be free to do what I want

                A
Walk if I want, talk if I want

E                 D
Got to be free to say what I want

                     A
Make what I want and play what I want

   E                 D
As free as the birds up in the sky

                            A
As free as the bugs and the spiders and flies

  E              D
I don't know how but I'm gonna try

                    B7  E
I've just got to be freee
[Verse 2]
E               B7
And it won't be long 'cos we are right

             E
And they are wrong

                                       B7
We've got to get out of this world somehow

                                           E
We've got to be free, we've got to be free now
[Chorus]
E                 D
Got to be free to laugh when I want

                      A
Think what I want and cry if I like

E                 D
Got to be free to do what I want

                    A
Say what I want and swear if I like

E                          D
As free as the sun and the moon in the sky

                       A
As free as a flea or a proud butterfly

E                    D
I don't know how but I'm gonna try

                    B7  E
I've just got to be freee
[Interlude] E B7 E [Verse 3]
E                                            B7
Yeah, we've got to get out of this world somehow

                                           E
We've got to be free, we've got to be free now
[Chorus]
E                 D
Got to be free to do what I want

                   A
Walk if I want and talk if I want

E                 D
Got to be free to say what I want

                     A
Make what I want and play what I want

     E                        D
Man, I've got to be proud and stand up straight

                           A
And let people see I ain't nobody's slave

     E                D
I've got to be free before it's too late

          A         B7
I've just got to be free

E                 D
Got to be free to do what I want

                A
Walk if I want, talk if I want
