Happy and Free

about

By the end of 2020 with its global pandemic and exhausting politics, followed in January 2021 by that freak freeze in Texas, those of us clinging to sanity craved an escape to peace and quiet, where everything was under control and normal again. Here’s to a daydream.

lyrics

The [G]world seems painted in [Asus2]dark blue colors
The [Dsus2]hard times are coming a[Asus4]gain [A]
A [G6]cold wind's blowing it [Asus2]won't stop [A]snowing
Can't [Esus4]find a friend [E7] {c:pause}

So [G6]sail with me on the [Asus2]deep blue ocean love
[Dsus2]Sail with me on the [Asus4]sea [A]
[G6]Far away from these [Asus2]cares and worries
Where [Esus4]we can be [E7]/ Happy and [A]free
[D] [E7] [A] [D] [E]{c:pause}
[G6]Walk with me to the [Asus2]shady forest love
[Dsus2]Go with me to the [Asus4]trees [A]
[G6]Make a bed of those [Asus2]soft pine needles
Where [Esus4]we can be [E7] / Happy and [A]free
Live to[D]gether / [E7]Happy and [A]free [D] [E]{c:pause}

[A7] [D]All we need is a [A]warm and quiet place
[Esus4]Distant [E7]sound of the [Asus4]waves [A7]
[D]Where the beauty sur[A]rounds us
Where we can [Esus4]spend our days [E7]
Happy and [A]free
all to[D]gether / [E7]Happy and [A]free
sail by the [D]light of the [E7]moon [A]
with our [D]children / [E7]Happy and [A]free
hearing the [D]nightingale's [E7]tune [A]
in the [D]morning / [E7]Happy and [A]free
at the [D]close of the [E7]day [A]
in the [D]sunshine / [E7]Happy and [A]free
with our [D]music to [E7]play
live to[D]gether / [E7]Happy and [A]free
with our [D]children / [E7]Happy and [A]free
