Freedom Guitar

How do I know
Gut, string and woe?
When I was a boy
They played it on the radio
How do I know
Flowers or poetry?
You never showed them to me, daddy
You never showed them to me

Just play
The freedom guitar
Strum it, pick it, flick it, play it slowly
Or play it real fast
You're my brother
My part-time lover
My brightest star
My freedom guitar

How do I know
How low you can go?
And what about tears, what about tears?
I let them flow
You didn't close the door
You left me your key
And you had a look on your face
That said don't ever leave me
Don't ever leave me

Just play
The freedom guitar
Strum it, pick it, flick it, play it slowly
Or play it real fast
You're my brother
My part-time lover
My brightest star
My freedom guitar

How do I know
You can go so low?
And what about tears, what about tears?
I let them flow
How do I know
Flowers or poetry?
You never showed them to me, daddy
You never showed them to me

Just play
The freedom guitar
Strum it, pick it, flick it, play it slowly
Or play it real fast
You're my brother
My part-time lover
My brightest star
My freedom guitar

Oh, my freedom guitar
Let me play
My freedom guitar
