lyrics

Em
I’m driving this morning this brand new V-8
C
My body’s wet and my intentions very clear
Em
Men ’re sittin’ in the back with the benjis
D
And we cross the land in the cornfields

Em
Free (The Ballad of John Dillinger) - Franz Robert WILD

I’m lost in the midwest, P’lice at my back,
C
They’ve lost our tracks on the last bank attack
Em
And G-men failed from stopping me. 
D
It gets a river of blood to be flood by money

Em
I remember when I was a young one
C
Father was in anger, in fear and despair
Em
Billy, mother shadow, I’m fast tonight
D
I’m headed back home, work is done.

Chorus: Am
And none is the danger , and none are the law
C
And none is blood, none is fame
Am C
Yeah! Nothing will stop me, no,no, nothing
G D
'cause I'm free! 'cause I'm free!
Am C
'cause I'm free! Yeah I’m free !
G D
'cause I'm free! 'cause I'm free!
Am C
'cause I'm free! Yeah I’m free !

Em
Let's check a barroom where we can find a horn
C
Find a hot mama that is keen at hearts
Em
A speakeasy, Yeah! let’s deal the low down
D
We're headed now for our the last trip

Em
I'm free like a soldier heading off to war
C
Free to release, to defy and to live  
Em
Wish I had a mother to worry over me
D
But man, she died when I was only three...

Chorus x2
