Song: Freedom Road Tab
Key: D
D A D
I guess everybody knew the way the sergeant knocked her 'round,
G D/F# Em
But he laid down the law in that dusty cattle town.
D A Bm
The front bar just fell silent when she begged him 'please no more',
G D A D
But no-one interfered when he slapped her to the floor.
D A D
But a young man watched the sergeant leave and knelt down by her side,
G D/F# Em
And a lost love was re-kindled when she held him in her eyes.
D A Bm
And in that unexpected moment, two hearts were takin' flight,
G D A D
As down that moonlight highway they sped into the night.
D G D
Freedom road, they're leavin' this town behind.
F#m G A
Freedom road, there's no turning 'round this time.
D G D
There's no way back when two worlds explode,
Em D/F# G A D
They're somewhere out there on that freedom road.
D A D
They reached the three ways roadhouse, took the Barkley to the east,
G D/F# Em
They'd head across to Queensland, get a job out on the reef.
D A Bm
Then in the rear view mirror they saw the sergeant close behind,
G D A D
Their hearts were pounding harder as they neared the borderline.
D G D
Freedom road, they're leavin' this town behind.
F#m G A
Freedom road, there's no turning 'round this time.
D G D
There's no way back when two worlds explode,
Em D/F# G A Bm
They're somewhere out there on that freedom road.
Bm G D F#m G A D G D Em D/F# G A D
INSTRUMENTAL
D A D
For the first time in her life, there was a freedom in the wind,
G D/F# Em
So when they saw the roadblock, 'Don't slow down', she begged of him.
D A Bm
They rolled and then burst into flames, they didn't stand a chance,
G D A D
In the stillness of that ghostly dawn, they reached their promised land.
D G D
Freedom road, they're leaving this world behind.
F#m G A
Freedom road, there's no turning 'round this time.
D G D
There's no way back when two worlds explode,
Em D/F# G A Bm
They're somewhere out there on that freedom road.
G D
They're leavin' this world behind.
F#m G A
Freedom road, there's no turning 'round this time.
D G D
There's no way back when two worlds explode,
Em D/F# G A D
They're somewhere out there on that freedom road.
