Freedom Knows My Name
(Transcribed by Jim McGuire)


If anyone plays guitar and follows the chords I am playing will see that part way
through the song I think Melanie plays an 'Am'  but I still continue to play 'Em'



Freedom pulls my heart strings as I board another plane
G        C             D             C        D        G
It's not leaving that I'm wanting but freedom knows my name
G                  C          D           C       D       G


Friends turn into strangers, strangers can be cold
G        C          D         C           D       G
I've been blessed with angels at least I'm not alone
G           C            D         C        D        G


And they come to me in a sunrise in the words of some old song
G         Em      D          C             Em         D       C
In the name of all creation in a life long out of bounds
        Em     D      C             Em        D        C
Freedom knows my name                  
D                   Em        C       D
Freedom knows my name
D                   Em        C       D
Freedom knows my name
D                   Em        C       D


Tender roots grow deep with longing to the core of solid ground
G                C             D                  C       D     G
Mine go left of centre and slightly of the ground
G       C         D          C           D       G

Through the war torn ages scenes of freedoms fight
Em         D          C      Em          D        C
Drawn on hidden pages haunt our dreams at night
Em        D          C       Em      D            C

Freedom knows my name                  
D                   Em        C       D
Freedom knows my name
D                   Em        C       D
Freedom knows my name
D                   Em        C       D

To the child without a promise to the frightened and the tame
     G         C          D            C             D        G
Although it's just a whisper freedom knows your name
G        C            D        C       D            Am
