The Housemartins - Freedom
(Heaton, Key)
[A] [D] [G] [D]
I [A]used to [D]think you [G]unders[D]tood
[A]Taught me [D]right an[G]d l[D]earnt me good
[A]Made things [D]simple [G]for my [D]brain
[A]Told the [D]truth an[G]d m[D]ade it plain
[A] [D] [G] [D]
But the [C#m]implications I mistook
Un[D]til I found out whose side you took
And [C#m]now with paper in my hand
I'm [D]beginning to under[E]stand
So this is [A]freedom[D] [G] They [D]must be j[A]oking[D][G]
They m[D]ust be [A]joking[D] [G] If they [D]think its [A]true[D][G]
So [D]this is [A]freedom[D] [G] I d[D]oubt their [A]truth[D][G]
So [D]this is [A]freedom[D] [G] For [D]me and [A]you[D][G][D]
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

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
