Mother Freedom by Bread
Performance notes: The chords (all barre chords) played during the verses, intro, 
and solos are basically strummed to mimick the syllables with a quick rest between them, 
except for the F and F# (passing chord), while the chords during the choruses are strummed 
in a straight 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 pattern. Turn your amp up, rock this one out and have fun!!
