The Housemartins - Freedom
(Heaton, Key)
A D G D
A D G D
I used to think you understood
A D G D
Taught me right and learnt me good
A D G D
Made things simple for my brain
A D G D
Told the truth and made it plain
A D G D
C#m
But the implications I mistook
D
Until I found out whose side you took
C#m
And now with paper in my hand
D E
I'm beginning to understand

So this is freedom They must be joking
D A D G D A D G
They must be joking If they think its true
D A D G D A D G
So this is freedom I doubt their truth
D A D G D A D G D
So this is freedom For me and you
From the front page news to the interviews
Its sink the reds and left the blues
They pretend they're differing points of view
But it's only different shades of blue
But the implications I mistook
Until I found out whose side you took
And now with paper in my hand
I'm beginning to understand
So this is freedom They must be joking
They must be joking If they think its true
So this is freedom I doubt their truth
So this is freedom For me and you

So this is freedom They must be joking

So this is freedom I doubt their truth
So this is freedom For me and you
F.R.E.E.D.O.M. They locked us up once
So they'll do it again
C.H.A.I.N.E.D. They locked up my friends
Now they're coming for me
