Note:
This arrangement based on the performance on "The Last Time" DVD
Lyric and structure may vary from the original recording
 
The open string voicings for E5 and C#m7 are the distinctive acoustic
guitar part which carries the Intro and Verses.
Try the alternative chords in the Chorus to maintain the jangly sound.
Electric guitars typically play power chords throughout.
 
 
[Intro]
| E5 | % | % | % |

[Verse 1]
E5
I don't know what you want from me
C#m7
Or what you think a love ought to be
E5
I want something that's open and strong
C#m7
As the country this road's moving on
 
[Verse 2]
E5
From the mountain to the valley
C#m7
From the ocean to the alley
E5
From the highway to the river
C#m7
One emotion to deliver
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A                  B
One heart, one way,  one love
A                   B
To share but not to   chain
 
That's freedom
 
[Chorus]
E
It's a song of the heart
F#m
A race in the wind
B
A light in the dark
A
That's freedom
E
It's a reason to live
F#m
And after the rain
B
Rekindle the spark
A              E
Let freedom ring
 
[Verse 3]
E5
I don't know why it takes so long
C#m7
To remember
What the world's doin' wrong
E5
Never wanted to shove my plan or another
C#m7
Who can't understand
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A
All I want is a fast lane
             B
To where the road across this plain
 
Won't take you
A
I want something you understand
B
To make us stand proud
 
As nothing else can
              E
That's freedom
 
[Chorus]
E
It's a song of the heart
F#m
A race in the wind
B
A light in the dark
A             E
That's freedom
E
It's a reason to live
F#m
And after the rain
B
Rekindle the spark
A                E
Let freedom ring
E
It's a measure of trust
F#m
When love is alive
B
It's tender and tough
A              E
That's freedom
E
It's all love is about
F#m                            B
This opening up and letting out
A                E
Let freedom ring
 
[Verse 4]
E5
From the mountain to the valley
C#m7
From the ocean to the alley
E5
From the highway to the river
C#m7
One emotion to deliver

One heart, one way, one love
B
To share but not to chain
              E
That's freedom
 
[Chorus]
E
It's a song of the heart
F#m
A race in the wind

Accurate tab but I don't know where the hell the E5 comes from.... especially in the intro you can hear plain as day that it's a standard E major chord. not an E5. good tab other than this minor quibble.
