I Want To Be free: Elvis Presley
On the charts in '57 (Album Jailhouse Rock).
I did this from memory so if anybody remembers it
and the exact key/chords, please let me know. Thanks, KK.
[D] [A] [D]
1.There's no joy in my heart, only sorrow,
[D] [A] [D]
And I'm as sad as a man can be.
[D] [A] [Bm] [G]
I sit alone in the darkness of my lonely room,
[D] [A] [D]
And this room is a prison to me.
CHORUS:
[D] [A] [D]
I look out my window, and what do I see?
[A] [D]
I see a bird, way up in a tree.
[D] [Bm] [A] [G] [D]
I wanna be free, free..free-ee-ee-ee.
[D] [A] [D]
I wanna be free, like the bird in the tree.
[D] [A] [D]
2.What good are my eyes, they can't see you.
[D] [A] [D]
And my arms, they can't hold you so tight.
[D] [Bm]
I have two lips yearning,
[G] [A]
but they're no good to me,
[A] [D] [G] [D]
'Cause I know I can't kiss you tonight.
CHORUS:
A fabulous fifties hit from Kraziekhat.
