N/A
Verse 1
D

I like Mrs. Bridges.
G

I go to Mrs. Bridges.
D

I eat at Mrs. Bridges
A

on a Friday for breakfast.
D

There are only seven tables,
G

flowers on the tables,
A
D

and smokers at the tables on a Friday.

Now you may think I'm joking,
G

but some smokers

when they're smoking
D

don't notice if you're choking
A

or you're dying.
D

There's this one fella, Andy,
G

a real chain -smoker,
A

and he blows smoke right
D

at me till I'm cryin'.

I asked him quite politely,
G

in fact, I asked him nicely,
D
A

Would you mind not smokin' on a Friday?
D

Don't like it when I'm eatin',
G

don't like it when I'm breathin',
A
D

Don't like it anywhere or any day.

He told me, it's a habit,
G

I choose to have it,
D
A

And you choose to come here on a Friday.
D

So you're the problem, not me,
G

And if I choose to rot, me,
A

You've got no right to stop me,
D

Cause it's my way,
E
F#

Cause it's a free world,
Bm

Democracy and all that, it's a free world,

E

Let's say fair and all that,
A
D

And if industry can do it, so can I.

The smokers cheered him loudly,
G

He lit another proudly,
D
E
A

As for me, I looked around me for a friend.
D

I thought of world pollution,
G

I thought of evolution,
A

I thought of revolution,
D

But I paid my bill and left.
F#
Bm

I thought of Mother Jones,
Em
A

I thought of Rosa Parks Sojourner

Truth and Rosa Luxemburg
D

It's them I have to thank
G

Guerrilla folks have taught me
D
B

If freedom you are wanting
E

If head -on fights are daunting,
A

use the flank
Asus4
A
D

So I ate corn on Sunday,
G

I ate beans on Monday
D

On Tuesday leeks and lentils
A

made a high day
D

I tell you I'm not jokin',
G

by Thursday I was floatin'
A

But I'm ready for the smokin'
D
G
D
A

on a Friday
D

I sat down next to Andy,
G

I smiled at Andy
D
E
A

He lit up, I let off a beauty
D

I sat and read the paper
G

and chatted with the waiter
D
A
D

And let my compost maker do its duty
F#
Bm

Beans are for pitching,
Em

leeks are malediction
A

Sweet corn is for density
D

and lentils for duration
G

The recipe's been tested,
D
B

it hasn't yet been bested
E

Add cabbage for perfume

and concentration
A
F#
A
D

And he turned yellow,
G

the atmosphere is mellow,
D
E
A

the percussion section's way over the top.
D

It soon put Andy's flag out,
G

Andy hung the flag out,
A

Andy choked and swore

and muttered, stop.
D

I told him it's a habit,
G

I choose to have it,
D
E
A

and you choose to come here on a Friday.
D

And if you don't like it,
G

I guess you'll have to hike it
A

Cause I'll fight for farters'
D

rights until I die
E
F#

Cause it's a free world,

liberty and all that
Bm
E

It's a free world, selfishness and all that
A
D
B

And if Andy can do it, so can I
E

He changed his day to Thursday
A

I changed my day to Thursday
E

He changed his day
F#
B

to Wednesday so did I.
E

The waitress, she was cheering,
A

her bronchitis, it was clearing,
B

and she was volunteering for the
E
C#m

Tuesday.

E
A

D
G

I like Mrs. Bridges, I go to Mrs. Bridges,
D

I breathe in Mrs. Bridges on a
A

Friday for breakfast,
D

there are only seven tables.
G

Flowers on the tables
A
D

and no smokers at the tables any day.
E
F#

Cause it's a free world,

strategy and all that.
Bm

It's a free world,
D
E

crude comedy and all that.
A
G

But if I can do it,
A
D
C
D

so can anybody. you

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
