RUNNING FREE by THE BUZZCOCKS
One of my favourite Buzzcocks singles........this may not be 100% but it is my interpretation of it....
I'm open to comments on this one!!!
[INTRO]   
can be played two ways....
CAPO at 3rd fret                 or at 10th fret
e---2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3---           B----10-10-10-10-11-11-11-11-----
b---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---           G----10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-----
g---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---           D----10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-----
both ways are " F "
Basically, its the same chord pattern all the way through.

[ALL IN]
Fhere in         Bbsurburbia
there's nothing left to see
Fjust want to Cspend my time Bbrunning fCree
Fi've had enougBbh of the day job
i can see farther than that
Fjust want to Cspend my time Bbrunning fCree
Fthe air of tension stilBbl is rising higher
screaming emotions are singing to you
Fno no no time, Cno no no time, Bbno no no time, Cno no no time.
Here in the engine room
a pulse shouts for a word
Just want to spend my time running free
I'll pull out condition
there's no need to face facts
Just want to spend my time running free
you better make a move before sleeping gets you
you better shape soon before weak things make you
no no no time, no no no time, no no no time, no no no time.
here in proles paradise
experiments on the weak
just want to spend my time running free
it's a trick of the torment
you tend to forget yourself
just want to spend my time running free
your conscience may be changed as the plan gets harder
its been rearranged to keep the strata
no no no time, no no no time, no no no time, no no no time.
