-----(capo 2nd fret)----- 
 
 
(verse 1) 
                  D 
And I watch you leavin, 
   A                   E           F#m 
A silouette of all the times we shared, 
                 D 
And there's no reason, 
    A                       E 
For you to turn around and come back here, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
           D 
I guess I knew that, 
       A                 E              F#m 
You'd grow up and be the woman that you are, 
     E           D 
Now that you're leavin, 
  A                            E 
I never thought the day would come so soon, but 
 
 
(chorus) 
                  D   -  A 
You've got to be free, 
                  E             F#m 
To walk down the path of uncertainty, 
              D        A 
You gotta believe yea, 
                   E 
That you're gonna make it yea, 
              D  -  A 
You gotta be free, 
                     E               F#m 
To take the chances that you need to take, 
               D        A 
You gotta believe yea, 
                   E 
That you're gonna make it yea, 
 
 
(verse 3) 
I thought I saw you,  
Smilin at me from a bilboard sign, 
I guess I'm lookin just a little too hard, 
 
(verse 4) 
And I thought I heard you 
Singin to me from the Broadway stage, 
You were a queen there, 
Finally found her star, 
 
(verse 5) 
I can't deny that you're a dreamer, 
I watch you spread your wings and fly away, 
Forever, but when you said goodbye, I knew, that 
 
 
(chorus) 
                  D   -  A 
You've got to be free, 
                  E             F#m 
To walk down the path of uncertainty, 
              D        A 
You gotta believe yea, 
                   E 
That you're gonna make it yea, 
              D  -  A 
You gotta be free, 
                     E               F#m 
To take the chances that you need to take, 
               D        A 
You gotta believe yea, 
                   E           F#m 
That you're gonna make it yea,

F#m 
I still remember when I, 
D 
Looked into your baby blue eyes, 
F#m                                  E       A 
Remember thinkin you can be what you want to be, 
F#m 
Thanks for all your help now, 
D 
I understand why your're so sad, 
            A 
There's a world out there for me, 
             E      D 
So I must be on my way, and   
 
 
 
(chorus) 
                  D   -  A 
You've got to be free, 
                  E             F#m

You got to be free, 
                    D      A     E - F#m 
And I hope you're still believin, 
         D                A      E 
Cause I know that you're gonna make it yea, 
      D            A    E  F#m
