Standard (EADGBE)

(There's) colors on the streets

Red white and blue

People shufflin' their feet,

People sleepin' in their shoes

There's a warning sign on the road ahead

There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead

Don't feel like satan but I am to them

So I try to forget it any way I can

Chorus

Keep on rockin' in the free world x4

-> x4 to next verse

I see a girl in the night, with a baby in her hand

Under an old street light, near a garbage can

Now she's put the kid away and she's gone to get a hit

She hates her life and what she's done to it

That's one more kid that will never go to school

Never get to fall in love never get to be cool

Chorus

(additional verse in the electric version; track 12)

(electric is in different key)

We got a thousand points of light

For the homeless man

We got a kinder gentler machine gun hand

We got department stores and toilet paper

Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer

Got a man of the people says keep hope alive

Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive

Chorus

Crime in the City (Sixty to Zero Part I) : Freedom : Neil Young

Well the cop made the show-down

He was sure he was right

He had all of the low-down

From the bank-heist last night

His best friend was the robber,

And his wife was a thief

All his children were killers,

He couldn't get no relief

The bungalow was surrounded

When a voice loud and clear

Said "Come on out with your hands up

Or we'll blow you out of here"

There was a face in the window

The t.v. cameras rolled

Then they cut to the announcer,

And the story was told

The artist looked at the producer, the producer sat back

He said "what we have got here is a perfect track

But we don't have a vocal and we don't have a song

If we could get these things accomplished nothing else could go wrong"

So he balanced the ashtray as he picked up the phone

And said "send me a songwriter who's drifted far from home

And make sure that he's hungry and make sure he's alone

Send me a cheeseburger and a new 'rolling stone'

Yeah

"There's still crime in the city", said the cop on the beat

"I don't know if i can stop it, I feel like meat on the street

They paint my car like a target, I take my orders from fools

Meanwhile some kid blows my head off well I play by their rules

That's why I'm doin' it my way I took the law in my own hand

So here i am in the alleyway a wad of cash in my pants

I get paid by a ten year old he says he looks up to me

There's still crime in the city but it's good to be free

Yeah

Well I come from a family that has a broken home

Sometimes I talk to daddy on the telephone

When he says that he loves me i know that he does

But I wish I could see him I wish I knew where he was

But that's the way all my friends are except maybe one or two

Wish I could see him this weekend wish I could walk in his shoes

But now I'm doing my own thing wometimes I'm good then I'm bad

Although my home has been broken it's the best home I ever had

Yeah

Well I keep getting younger my life's been funny that way

Before I ever learned to talk I forgot what to say

I sassed back to my mom I sassed back at my teacher

I got thrown out of bible school for sassing back at the preacher

Then I grew up to be a fireman put every fire in town

Put out anything smokin' but when I put the hose down

The judge sent me to prison gave me life without parole

Wish I never put the hose down wish I never got old

Don't Cry : Freedom :Neil Young

power chord from low E to e

Don't cry my sweet girl nothin' I say is written in stone

Don't cry my sweet love you won't really be alone

Woa ah

I'll help you pack your things I'll walk with you out to the car

I'll hold on to the ring I won't forget the way things are

Woa ah my sweet love

Your disappointed eyes are haunting my like my big lies

I see you glaring now I see you staring in the fire

Woa ah my sweet love

Don't cry my sweet girl nothin' I say is written in stone

Don't cry my sweet love you won't really be alone

Woa ah

My sweet love my sweet love

Ahhh

Don't cry my sweet girl you won't really be alone

Don't cry my sweet girl you won't really be alone

Don't cry my sweet girl you won't really be alone

Hangin' on a Limb : Freedom : Neil Young

(song originally in key of D ?)

Verse

Chorus

Though the river flows gently to the sea

He was on the shore rooted like tree

She was here and there riding on the waves

Through it all she heard his call

And gave it all she gave

And though their love was hangin' on a limb

She taught him how to dance and start again

And though their love was hangin' on a limb

She taught him how to dance

When the melody through the window called

It echoed in the courtyard and whispered in the halls

He played it through the night she knew he had to go

There was something about freedom he thought he didn't know

v1

And though their love was hangin' on a limb

She taught him how to dance

Eldorado : Freedom : Neil Young

In the crystal ball the gypsy saw the villa

The riders on the hill the fire in the fields

She saw the mission bell swinging in the silence

Now the shooting starts the bullets pierce the hearts

The senoritas crying at the wall

Up in the Gold Hotel the money hits the table

The heavies all are there that's why the deal's going down

Beautiful women all dressed in diamond and sable

Down upon the street beside a garbage heap

a mariachi band begins to play

Somewhere a blues guitar plays echos in the alleyway

The Tijuana dawn claims another day the golden sun rises on the runway

The pilot understands the money changes hands

Inside the jet the briefcase snaps

Goodbye

In Eldorado town there lives a great bullfighter

His eyes are screaming blue his hair is red as blood

And when the gate goes up the crowed gets so excited

And he comes dancin' out dressed in gold lame

He kills the bull and lives another day

The Ways of Love : Freedom : Neil Young

You are my special one

Made my heart come all undone

We've been havin' too much fun

Now someone else

Will sleep with tears when he hears

What we've done

cH.

Oh the ways of love x2

Hear my song and hear my heart

We'll be gone when the music starts

Then we'll never be apart

Just you and I

Go flyin' by no one to cry

That we're gone

cH

Someday : Freedom : Neil Young

Rommel wore a ring on his finger

He only took it off when he flew his plane

Once he told me why

He said we all have to fly someday

We all have to fly

Someday

T.v preacher can't be bothered

With those petty things

He stays a step removed so they say

He's pipin' music in

We all have to sin someday

We all have to sin

Someday

Workin' on that great Alaska pipeline

many men were lost in the pipe

They went to fuelin' cars

Now smog might turn to stars

Someday

Smog might turn to stars

Someday

Hold me baby, put your arms around me

Give me all the love you have to give

Tomorrow won't be late

We won't have to wait someday

We won't have to wait

Someday

On Broadway : Freedom : Neil Young

(lyrics by Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Jerry Leiber

& Mike Stoller 1962/1963 )

They say the neon lights are bright on broadway

They say there's always magic in the air

But when you're walkin' down the street

And you ain't had enough to eat

The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere

They say the women treat you fine on broadway

But lookin' at them just gives me the blues

How ya gonna make some time

When all you got is one thin dime

And that one dime won't even shine your shoe

They say that I won't last too long on broadway

I'll catch a greyhound bus for home they all say

But they're dead wrong I know they are

'cos I can play this here guitar on broadway

On broadway

On broadway

Give me that crack

Give me some of that crack

Give me that crack

Ahh

Broadway

Wrecking Ball : Freedom : Neil Young

My life's an open book you read it on the radio

We've got nowhere to hide we've got nowhere to go

But if you still decide

That you want to G]take a ride

Chorus

Meet me at the wrecking ball wrecking ball

Wear something pretty and white

And we'll go dancing tonight all x2

I see your smokey eyes right across the bar

I've seen that look before shining from star to star

Though I can't take that chance

If you got time for one dance

cH x2

The restless line of cars goes stretching down the road

But I won't telephone 'cos you might say 'hello'

What is it makes me feel this way?

What is it makes me want to say?

CH x2

No More : Freedom : Neil Young

Livin' on the edge of night

You know the sun won't go down slow

You don't know which drug is right

Can't decide which way you wanna go

I feel the way you feel

'cos not so long ago

It had a hold on me

I couldn't let it go it wouldn't set me free

It wouldn't set me free

No more, no more, no more

Seemed like the easy thing

To let it go for one more day

Like singin' the same old song

And twistin' the words in a different way

Where did the magic go

I searched high and low

I can't find it no more

I can't get it back i can't find it no more

I can't find it no more

No more, no more, no more, no more

Searchin' for quality

Havin' to have the very best

Now scroungin' for quantity

Never havin' time to do the test

That's how the story goes

Can't put it down

To the last stage

I can't put it down

I can't put it down

I can't put it down

Too Far Gone : Freedom : Neil Young

When I woke up you were gone

And the sun was on the lawn

Empty pillow with perfume on

I smelled it

Well we met in my favorite bar

Took a ride in my old car

But I still don't know how

We made it home

Chorus

Was I too far gone

Too far gone

Too far gone

For you?

We had drugs and we had booze

But we still had something to lose

And by dawn I wanted

To marry you

With our attitudes by day

And our secret dreams by night

Can we really live our lives

That way

Chorus

I .....

Chorus

Was I ....

Intro

When I woke up you were gone

and the sun was on the lawn

Empty pillow with perfume on

I smelled it

Well we met in my favorite bar

took a ride in my old car

But I still don't know how

We made it home

Was I too far gone

too far gone

too far gone for you?

We had drugs and we had booze

But we still had something to lose

Am I too far gone
