Intro
Gm7 C Am7
The words you're about to hear are probably sincere
Dm Gm7
Although extracted from some diary pot-hooks
C
They're all about a couple of weary, pissed off
A7 Gm7
Hassled ramblers I was pleased to know
C Am7
But I guess I should admit that it's written all to fit
Dm Gm7 C
The senses from my personal outlooks
A7
It's just a rough selection, but here we go:
[Verse]
Gm7 C
The first one to meet, an extraordinary neat
Am7 Dm
And determined all Canadian mother
Gm7 C
For sure she was a bit from home now
A7
And she wouldn't mind!
Gm7 C
She was fighting like a man, when she couldn't understand
Am7 Dm
That sometimes people have to bother
Gm7 C A7
The word that could describe her manners is not "refined"!
[Chorus]
Gm7 C
These are only notes about freedom
Am7 Dm
I wish you had the time to read them
A#maj7 Fmaj7
Speaking about freedom; what's that like?
D#dim
Rolling a joint, go for a hike
A7
Missing the point, renting a bike?
[Instrumental]
Gm7 C Am7 Dm Gm7 C A7
Gm7 C Am7 Dm Gm7 C A7
[Verse]
Gm7 C
The next one is the "grass man", picking up his brass can
Am7 Dm
Telling us it's mighty splendid
Gm7 C A7
Showing us the latest harvest of Sumatra grass
Gm7 C
Coming from the highland, heading for the island
Am7 Dm
Where the crop is very much demanded
Gm7 C A7
The heads are waiting there to see him, "it's gonna be a mass"!
[Chorus]
Gm7 C
These are only notes about freedom
Am7 Dm
I wish you had the time to read them
A#maj7 Fmaj7
Speaking about freedom; what's that like?
D#dim
Rolling a joint, go for a hike
A7
Missing the point, renting a bike?

Gm7 C Am7 Dm Gm7 C A7
[Verse]
Gm7 C
Time lapse, looking for the tabs
Am7 Dm
You know would make you feel much better
Gm7 C A7
Lead into a state you're missing, when you're drinking wine
Gm7 C
Looking at the sun, nothing has been done
Am7 Dm
Time to write yourself a letter
Gm7 C A7
This diary will steal an hour, but you've sure got time!
[Chorus]
Gm7 C
These are only notes about freedom
Am7 Dm
I wish you had the time to read them
A#maj7 Fmaj7
Speaking about freedom; what's that like?

Rolling a joint, go for a hike
A7
