Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

____Verse: 1

I used to be a rolling stone, you know

If the cause was right

I'd leave to find the answer on the road

I used to be a heart beating for someone

But the times have changed

The less I say the more my work gets done

____Chorus:

'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom

From the day that I was born I've waved the flag

Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man

Yeah, gave me peace of mind my daddy never had

Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love you

Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, won't you shine a light

Phi__la__delphia freedom, I lo_o___ove you, yes I do

____Intro:

____Verse: 2

If you choose to you can live your life alone

Some people choose the city

(Some people choose the city)

Some others choose the good old family home

(Some others choose the good old family home)

I like living easy without family ties (living easy)

Till the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me

Right between the eyes

____Chorus:

'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom

From the day that I was born I've waved the flag

Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man

Mm-mm, gave me peace of mind my daddy never had

Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love you

Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, won't you shine a light

Phi__la__delphia freedom, I lo_o___ove you, yes I do

____Intro:

____Chorus: (2nd. half)

Oh, Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love you

Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine a light, shine a light

Shine a light, won't you shine a light

Phi__la__delphia freedom, I lo_o___ove you

Don't you know I lo_o___ove you, don't you know I lo_o___ove you

Yes I do (Philadelphia freedom) I lo_o___ove you

Yes I do (Philadelphia freedom) know that I lo_o___ove you

Yes I do (Philadelphia freedom) don't you know that I lo_o___ove you

Yes I do (Philadelphia freedom) don't you know that I lo_o___ove you
