[Verse 1]
    C
One morning in June some twenty years ago
F                       C
I was born a rich man's son
  C
I had everything that money could buy
    F               C
but freedom - I had none
 
[Chorus]
C
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
C
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]
C
I headed down the track, my baggage on my back
  F             G     C
I left the city far behind
C
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]
C
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
C
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)
C
 
[Verse 3]
  C
I paid a lotta dues, had plenty to lose
F           G         C
travelling across the land
C
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]
C
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
C
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)

I was a special operations guy in 1989 and spent a lot time in Germany during 88-89-90. It was the most amazing thing to see, all Eastern Germany and Western Germany having one big ass party to celebrate what was happening New Year's Eve. 30 years later, we are all looking for freedom - again. God Bless the USA! I am not sure why I shared that, just felt like mentioning it as I play this song. Good Job!
