[Verse 1]

One morning in June some twenty years ago

F C

I was born a rich man's son

I had everything that money could buy

F C

but freedom - I had none

[Chorus]

I've been lookin' for freedom

I've been lookin' so long

I've been lookin' for freedom

Am G C

still the search goes on

I've been lookin' for freedom

since I left my home town

I've been lookin' for freedom

Am G C

still it can't be found

[Verse 2]

I headed down the track, my baggage on my back

F G C

I left the city far behind

walkin' down the road, with my heavy load

F G C

tryin' to find some peace of mind

C Am

father said you'll be sorry, son,

F G C

if you leave your home this way

C Am

and when you realize the freedom money buys

F C

you'll come running hoooome some day

[Chorus]

I've been lookin' for freedom

I've been lookin' so long

I've been lookin' for freedom

Am G C

still the search goes on

I've been lookin' for freedom

since I left my home town

I've been lookin' for freedom

Am G C

still it can't be found

[Instrumental] (x8)

[Verse 3]

I paid a lotta dues, had plenty to lose

F G C

travelling across the land

Worked on a farm, got some muscle in my arm

F G C

but still I'm not a self-made man

C Am

I'll be on the run for many years to come

F G C

I'll be searching door to door

C Am

but, given some time, some day I'm gonna find

F C

the freedom (freedom, freedom) I've been searching for

[Chorus]

I've been lookin' for freedom

I've been lookin' so long

I've been lookin' for freedom

Am G C

still the search goes on

I've been lookin' for freedom

since I left my home town

I've been lookin' for freedom

Am G C

still it can't be found (x2)
