Standard (EADGBE)

 They gave me money

 to find the sky.

 And I took it with no question, didn't even ask them why.

 But days are open

 And skies are free

 And the time it took to learn that

Didn't leave its chains on me.

 I lived in shadow

 Way from the sun.

 And the tremblin' in my mind

 Kept my heart and body on the run.

(Improvise a fill like the ones above and end it with A)

 When freedom called us

 Called out our names....

 And the beckon of the highway

Saw through all our useless games

 (fill ending in )

 The love we wanted

 Was lost in lies

 And the chance that slipped on by me

 Like the flashin' sorrow in her eyes

 (fill ending in )

Then we took the rise together

 For the first time in our lives

Feeling just like one suspended

 Then we said time won't keep our strife

 Our time is open

 For us to see

 And our freedom schemes are open

 like the seagulls soaring at the sea

(fill)

 And our freedom schemes are open

 like the seagulls soaring at the sea.
