I Want To Be free: Elvis Presley
On the charts in '57 (Album Jailhouse Rock).
I did this from memory so if anybody remembers it
and the exact key/chords, please let me know. Thanks, KK.
   D                     A            D
  []                    []           []
1.There's no joy in my heart, only sorrow,
              D         A        D
             []        []       []
  And I'm as sad as a man can be.
         D         A             Bm           G
        []        []            []           []
  I sit alone in the darkness of my lonely room,
            D          A          D
           []         []         []
  And this room is a prison to me.
CHORUS:
   D              A                      D
  []             []                     []
  I look out my window, and what do I see?
           A                  D
          []                 []
  I see a bird, way up in a tree.
   D           Bm    A      G           D
  []          []    []     []          []
  I wanna be free, free..free-ee-ee-ee.
   D                 A                     D
  []                []                    []
  I wanna be free, like the bird in the tree.
   D                 A                     D
  []                []                    []
2.What good are my eyes, they can't see you.
   D                        A            D
  []                       []           []
  And my arms, they can't hold you so tight.
   D                Bm
  []               []          
  I have two lips yearning,
               G           A
              []          []
  but they're no good to me,
    A        D             G         D
   []       []            []        []
  'Cause I know I can't kiss you tonight.
CHORUS:
A fabulous fifties hit from Kraziekhat.
