Free as a bird, 
It's the next best thing to be. 
Free as a bird. 

Home, home and dry, 
Like a homing bird I'll fly 
As a bird on wings. 

Whatever happened to 
The life that we once knew? 
Can we really live without each other? 

Where did we lose the touch 
That seemed to mean so much? 
It always made me feel so... 

Free as a bird, 
Like the next best thing to be. 
Free as a bird. 

Home, home and dry, 
Like a homing bird I'll fly 
As a bird on wings. 

Whatever happened to 
The life that we once knew? 
Always made me feel so free. 

     SOLO

Free as a bird. 
It's the next best thing to be. 
Free as a bird. 
Free as a bird. 
Free as a bird. 



     To play the slide guitar part you must tune your
     guitar as follows: e
                        B
                        G#   (1/2 step up - G to G#)
                        E    ( 1 step up - D to E)

     You won't use E and A strings, so you can leave 
     them as they are. (You can mute them with a folded
     piece of celulose paper or cloth under the strings
     just beside the neck.)
