Intro: |
F# F#4/D# F# F#4/D# |
F# |
There's a man |
F# |
Who's been out sailing |
F#4 |
In a decade full of dreams |
F# F#4 |
And he takes her to a schooner |
F# F#9 |
And he treats her like a queen |
F# F#4 |
Bearing beads from California |
F# F#4/D# |
With their amber stones and green |
F#4 F# |
He has called her from the harbor |
F#4 F# |
He has kissed her with his freedom |
F#4 F# |
He has heard her off to starboard |
F#4 C#4 |
In the breaking and the breathing |
F# F#4/C# |
Of the water weeds |
F# F#4 |
While she was busy |
F# F#4 F# |
Being free |
F# |
There's a man who's climbed |
F# |
A mountain |
F#4 |
And he's calling out her name |
F# |
And he hopes her heart can |
F#4 F# |
Hear three thousand miles |
F#9 |
He calls again |
F# F#4 |
He can think her there beside him |
F# F#4/D# |
He can miss her just the same |
F#4 F# |
He has missed her in the forest |
F#4 F# |
While he showed her all the flowers |
F#4 F# |
And the branches sang the chorus |
F#4 F#4/C# |
As he climbed the scaley towers |
F# F#4/C# |
Of a forest tree |
F# F#4 |
While she was somewhere |
F# F#4 F# |
Being free |
F# |
There's a man who's sent a letter |
F#4 |
And he's waiting for reply |
F# F#4 |
He has asked her of her travels |
F# F#9 |
Since the day they said goodbye |
F# |
He writes "Wish you were |
F#4 |
Beside me |
F# F#4/D# |
We can make it if we try" |
F#4 F# |
He has seen her at the office |
F#4 F# |
With her name on all his papers |
F#4 F# |
Through the sharing of the profits |
F#4 F#4/C# |
He will find it hard to shake her |
F# F#4/C# |
From his memory |
F# F#4 |
And she's so busy |
F# F#4 F# |
Being free |
F# |
There's a lady in the city |
F#4 |
And she thinks she loves them all |
F# |
There's the one who's |
F#4 |
Thinking of her |
F# F#9 |
There's the one who sometimes calls |
F# |
There's the one who writes |
F#4 |
Her letters |
F# F#4/D# |
With his facts and figures scrawl |
F#4 F# |
She has brought them to her senses |
F#4 |
They have laughed inside her |
F# |
Laughter |
F#4 F# |
Now she rallies her defenses |
F#4 F#4/C# |
For she fears that one will ask her |
F# F#4/C# |
For eternity |
F# F#4 |
And she's so busy |
F# F#4 F# |
Being free |
F# |
There's a man who sends her medals |
F# |
He is bleeding from the war |
F# |
There's a jouster and a jester |
F#9 |
And a man who owns a store |
F# F#4 |
There's a drummer and a dreamer |
F# F#4/D# |
And you know there may be more |
F#4 |
She will love them when she |
F# |
Sees them |
F#4 F# |
They will lose her if they follow |
F#4 F# |
And she only means to please them |
F#4 F#4/C# |
And her heart is full and hollow |
F# F#4/C# |
Like a cactus tree |
F# F#4 |
While she's so busy |
F# F#4 F# |
Being free |
Bridge: |
F# F#4 F# F# x2 |
F# F#4/C# F#4/D# |
Like a cactus tree |
F# F#4 |
Being free |
Bridge: |
F# F#4 F# F# x2 |
