MY HEART IS FREE (Tift Merritt)
-------------------------------
* Actually in Bb/Gm; capo 3.
* Each chord is one measure.
* Em* alternates between Em and Em7 (020000).

Em*  Em*  Em*  Em*   Em*  Em*  Em*  Em*
[intro]

           Em              D             Em                D
Well, the first thing I remember is the last thing that I saw
Em               D          C              Em*  Em*
Morning hit the barrel of a rifle going off
          Em                D                 Em                D
Then the daylight wrapped around me, then I heard the sergeant scream
      Em          D          C              Em   Em
Then all my reservations fell gently at my feet

               C     G           C     G
Now my heart is free, my heart is free
     C                   G            D             Em*  Em*  Em*  Em*
And all the things that hold a man no longer carry me

I was sure there was a reason to take that side and fight
But when I saw the trembling hands that put that shot in flight
Well I saw the hands of Jesus, saw the shores at Normandy
Saw a hundred thousand weary lost and homesick boys like me

Now my heart is free, my heart is free
And all the things that hold a man no longer carry me

Em  D  Em  D    Em  D  C  Em  Em  Em  Em
[guitar solo]

Now they don't remember my name or the girl that I made proud
And whatever drew me from her arms is nothing to me now

Now my heart is free, my heart is free
And all the things that hold a man no longer carry me
My heart is free, my heart is free
And all the things that hold a man no longer carry me

[end on Em.]
