E
Fast, on a rough road riding
High, through the mountains climbing
A E
twisting,turning further from my home
E
Young, like a new moon rising
Fierce, through the rain and lightning
A E
Wandering out into the great unknown
F#m A
And I don't want know one to cry, but tell em'
if I don't survive
Chorus:
E
I was Born Free
I was Born Free
A E
I was Born Free, Born Free
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kid_rock/born_free_tab.html ]
E
Free, like a river raging
Strong, if the wind I'm facing
A E
Chasing dreams and racing fathered time
E
Deep, like the grandest canyon
Wild, like an untamed stallion
A E
If you can't see my heart you must be blind
F#m
You can knock me down and watch me bleed
A
But you can't keep no chains on me
(Chorus)
Db D A
And I'm not good at long good byes, but look down deep into my eyes
E
I was Born Free
Lead played over - E E A E Db D A (Listen to recording for changes)
E---A
E
Calm, facing danger
Lost, like an unknown stranger
A E
Grateful for my time with no regrets
E
Close to my destination
Tired, frail and aching
A E
Waitin patiently for the sun to set
F#m
And when it's done believe that I,
A aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
will yell it from that highest mountain high
(Chorus)
Db D A
And I will vow to the shinning seas and celebrate God's Grace on me
(Chorus) repeat until end
