Topic: "Land of The Free" Revisited
Howdy,
I was at a gathering this summer and played this song with some other players and music lovers. A gal pulled me aside and said
she really liked the song and it had a good message, but I needed another verse , so after a couple months I sat down and added another verse. So here's a simple song from a Simple Fella
The Land Of the Free

[G]We thought life was easy it was all a big[C] joke
[D]We're the land of the free and the home of the[G] broke
