Intro
Em7 A F#m7
The words you're about to hear are probably sincere
Bm Em7
Although extracted from some diary pot-hooks
A
They're all about a couple of weary, pissed off
F#7 Em7
Hassled ramblers I was pleased to know
A F#m7
But I guess I should admit that it's written all to fit
Bm Em7 A
The senses from my personal outlooks
F#7
It's just a rough selection, but here we go:
[Verse]
Em7 A
The first one to meet, an extraordinary neat
F#m7 Bm
And determined all Canadian mother
Em7 A
For sure she was a bit from home now
F#7
And she wouldn't mind!
Em7 A
She was fighting like a man, when she couldn't understand
F#m7 Bm
That sometimes people have to bother
Em7 A F#7
The word that could describe her manners is not "refined"!
[Chorus]
Em7 A
These are only notes about freedom
F#m7 Bm
I wish you had the time to read them
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Speaking about freedom; what's that like?
D#dim
Rolling a joint, go for a hike
F#7
Missing the point, renting a bike?
[Instrumental]
Em7 A F#m7 Bm Em7 A F#7
Em7 A F#m7 Bm Em7 A F#7
[Verse]
Em7 A
The next one is the "grass man", picking up his brass can
F#m7 Bm
Telling us it's mighty splendid
Em7 A F#7
Showing us the latest harvest of Sumatra grass
Em7 A
Coming from the highland, heading for the island
F#m7 Bm
Where the crop is very much demanded
Em7 A F#7
The heads are waiting there to see him, "it's gonna be a mass"!
[Chorus]
Em7 A
These are only notes about freedom
F#m7 Bm
I wish you had the time to read them
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Speaking about freedom; what's that like?
D#dim
Rolling a joint, go for a hike
F#7
Missing the point, renting a bike?

[Verse]
Em7 A
Time lapse, looking for the tabs
F#m7 Bm
You know would make you feel much better
Em7 A F#7
Lead into a state you're missing, when you're drinking wine
Em7 A
Looking at the sun, nothing has been done
F#m7 Bm
Time to write yourself a letter
Em7 A F#7
This diary will steal an hour, but you've sure got time!
[Chorus]
Em7 A
These are only notes about freedom
F#m7 Bm
I wish you had the time to read them
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Speaking about freedom; what's that like?
D#dim
Rolling a joint, go for a hike
F#7
Missing the point, renting a bike?

I wish you had the time to read them
