Be Free A Way


I play it with a 4 
Capo on the 4th fret. If you don't have a capo, scroll down 
to see the non-capo version. 

From what I can tell, most of the actual song drones on one or two chords. 
These chords are pretty much based on the vocal melody, but it still sounds 
good if you play along with the album or by yourself.  

All chords relative to the 4 
Capo on the 4th fret. 

verse 1 (0:11-0:37) 

     G   Am  G    Am 
     Did God make pain 
     G  Am G   Am 
     So we can know 
     G   Am   G    Am G    D 
     The high that no-thing is 

verse 2 (0:37-1:09) 

     G  Am   G     Am 
     The sun shines down 
     G   Am    G     Am 
     But we're still cold 
     G   Am    G  Am 
     Its light is not 
     G  D    G    D   
     A light that shines 

Chorus 1 (1:09-1:42) 

     C   Dm   C Dm 
     The way, a way 
     C   Dm  C   Dm 
     But how can we 
     C  Dm   C    Dm 
     Be free when all 
     C   G    C   G 
     Our days are empty 

verse 3 (1:42-2:08) 

     G  Am   G Am 
     Is love a god 
     G   Am  G  Am 
     That we control 
     G  Am  G  Am    G   D 
     To try to trust the pain 

verse 4 (2:08-2:40) 

     G   Am  G      Am 
     The sun shines down 
     G   Am G     Am 
     But we can't see 
     G   Am    G      Am  G  D     G   D 
     Its light lights eve-ry-thing the same 

Chorus 2 (2:40-3:06) 

     C  Dm    C Dm 
     Be free, a way 
     C   Dm  C   Dm 
     But how can we 
     C    Dm   C  Dm 
     Find arms to hold 
     C   G 
     The days 


Chorus 3 (3:06-3:38) 

     C  Dm    C Dm 
     Be free, a way 
     C   Dm  C   Dm 
     But how can we 
     C    Dm   C  Dm 
     Find arms to hold 
     C   G     C G 
     The days, a way 


Outro (3:38-4:11) 

     C Am   C Am 
     A way, A way 
     C Am   C Am 
     A way, A way 
     G Am 
     A way
