Intro
Dm7 G Em7
The words you're about to hear are probably sincere
Am Dm7
Although extracted from some diary pot-hooks
G
They're all about a couple of weary, pissed off
E7 Dm7
Hassled ramblers I was pleased to know
G Em7
But I guess I should admit that it's written all to fit
Am Dm7 G
The senses from my personal outlooks
E7
It's just a rough selection, but here we go:
[Verse]
Dm7 G
The first one to meet, an extraordinary neat
Em7 Am
And determined all Canadian mother
Dm7 G
For sure she was a bit from home now
E7
And she wouldn't mind!
Dm7 G
She was fighting like a man, when she couldn't understand
Em7 Am
That sometimes people have to bother
Dm7 G E7
The word that could describe her manners is not "refined"!
[Chorus]
Dm7 G
These are only notes about freedom
Em7 Am
I wish you had the time to read them
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Speaking about freedom; what's that like?
D#dim
Rolling a joint, go for a hike
E7
Missing the point, renting a bike?
[Instrumental]
Dm7 G Em7 Am Dm7 G E7
Dm7 G Em7 Am Dm7 G E7
[Verse]
Dm7 G
The next one is the "grass man", picking up his brass can
Em7 Am
Telling us it's mighty splendid
Dm7 G E7
Showing us the latest harvest of Sumatra grass
Dm7 G
Coming from the highland, heading for the island
Em7 Am
Where the crop is very much demanded
Dm7 G E7
The heads are waiting there to see him, "it's gonna be a mass"!
[Chorus]
Dm7 G
These are only notes about freedom
Em7 Am
I wish you had the time to read them
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Speaking about freedom; what's that like?
D#dim
Rolling a joint, go for a hike
E7
Missing the point, renting a bike?
[Instrumental]

Dm7 G Em7 Am Dm7 G E7
[Verse]
Dm7 G
Time lapse, looking for the tabs
Em7 Am
You know would make you feel much better
Dm7 G E7
Lead into a state you're missing, when you're drinking wine
Dm7 G
Looking at the sun, nothing has been done
Em7 Am
Time to write yourself a letter
Dm7 G E7
This diary will steal an hour, but you've sure got time!
[Chorus]
Dm7 G
These are only notes about freedom
Em7 Am
I wish you had the time to read them
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Speaking about freedom; what's that like?
D#dim
Rolling a joint, go for a hike
E7
Missing the point, renting a bike?

I wish you had the time to read them
