It's A Free World chords by Peggy Seeger
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.
F#
B
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
