Intro
Cm7 F Dm7
The words you're about to hear are probably sincere
Gm Cm7
Although extracted from some diary pot-hooks
F
They're all about a couple of weary, pissed off
D7 Cm7
Hassled ramblers I was pleased to know
F Dm7
But I guess I should admit that it's written all to fit
Gm Cm7 F
The senses from my personal outlooks
D7
It's just a rough selection, but here we go:
[Verse]
Cm7 F
The first one to meet, an extraordinary neat
Dm7 Gm
And determined all Canadian mother
Cm7 F
For sure she was a bit from home now
D7
And she wouldn't mind!
Cm7 F
She was fighting like a man, when she couldn't understand
Dm7 Gm
That sometimes people have to bother
Cm7 F D7
The word that could describe her manners is not "refined"!
[Chorus]
Cm7 F
These are only notes about freedom
Dm7 Gm
I wish you had the time to read them
D#maj7 A#maj7
Speaking about freedom; what's that like?
D#dim
Rolling a joint, go for a hike
D7
Missing the point, renting a bike?
[Instrumental]
Cm7 F Dm7 Gm Cm7 F D7
Cm7 F Dm7 Gm Cm7 F D7
[Verse]
Cm7 F
The next one is the "grass man", picking up his brass can
Dm7 Gm
Telling us it's mighty splendid
Cm7 F D7
Showing us the latest harvest of Sumatra grass
Cm7 F
Coming from the highland, heading for the island
Dm7 Gm
Where the crop is very much demanded
Cm7 F D7
The heads are waiting there to see him, "it's gonna be a mass"!
[Chorus]
Cm7 F
These are only notes about freedom
Dm7 Gm
I wish you had the time to read them
D#maj7 A#maj7
Speaking about freedom; what's that like?
D#dim
Rolling a joint, go for a hike
D7
Missing the point, renting a bike?
[Instrumental]
Cm7 F Dm7 Gm Cm7 F D7
Cm7 F Dm7 Gm Cm7 F D7
[Verse]
Cm7 F
Time lapse, looking for the tabs
Dm7 Gm
You know would make you feel much better
Cm7 F D7
Lead into a state you're missing, when you're drinking wine
Cm7 F
Looking at the sun, nothing has been done
Dm7 Gm
Time to write yourself a letter
Cm7 F D7
This diary will steal an hour, but you've sure got time!
[Chorus]
Cm7 F
These are only notes about freedom
Dm7 Gm
I wish you had the time to read them
D#maj7 A#maj7
Speaking about freedom; what's that like?
D#dim
Rolling a joint, go for a hike
D7
Missing the point, renting a bike?
[Instrumental]

These are only notes about freedom

I wish you had the time to read them
