Free as a bird,
It's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry,
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...
Free as a bird,
Like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry,
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free.
SOLO
Free as a bird.
It's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.
To play the slide guitar part you must tune your
guitar as follows: e
B
G# (1/2 step up - G to G#)
E ( 1 step up - D to E)
You won't use E and A strings, so you can leave
them as they are. (You can mute them with a folded
piece of celulose paper or cloth under the strings
just beside the neck.)

I got the album today and I had to post this because the only posting so far
is CRD file, which I can never get to work. There is more to this song than
you might think at first. Sorry, I don't know the lyrics yet.

And that little thing at the end is kind of confusing. Basically, the A
chord is going haywire over the A-E-F#-G bass line, but in the background
you can here the ukulele in the background somehow resolving to a D major
chord, with an appropriate A to D finish.
