[C]One morning you wake to find
you are [F]shackled to [C]your bed
[Am]and bound [F]and g[C]agged
Oh [F]my, what a predicament
Intro x1
[C]And further, further on
the [F]day grows [C]long
Your [Am]sister marries a [C]nice young man
and they build a [F]house of [Em]diamonds
But the [C]sun is snuffed by the curtains
[F]Can't someone come untie [C]you?
But there [Am]is too much [F]work to [C]do
Yes, they [Am]all admire [C]you
[C]You are free[F] [Em]
You are already [Am]free
G Gp
You are alll-already free
Intro x2
You are f[C]ree from the [F]greed of your c[E]ulture
You are f[A]ree from the lust for the [G]luster
of the [C]diamond [F]houses in the [E]city's cluster
[Am] [G] [Am] [G]
Yes, you [C]own the [F]stars, you [E]own the thunder
[Am]But you have to [G]share it all
Yes, you [C]own the [F]stars, you [E]own the thunder
[Am]But you have to [G]share
You are [C]fre[F]ee[Em]eee
You are already [Am]free
G Gp C
You are alll already free

NOTE: His House of Diamonds cover is played differently than the actual song (the number
of times he repeats the intro progression throughout the song is less than the original recording)
