Chorus 1
My (C major) happiness was (F major) paid for
when they (G major) laid their money down (C major)
For (C major) summers in a summer (F major) camp
and (G major) winters in the town (C major)
Our (C major) future in the system (F major)
was (C/G) talked about and (G major) planned
But I gave it up for music
and the free electric (C major) band (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 2
i (C major) went to school in hand-washed shirts
with (G major) neatly ordered hair
And the (C major) school was big and newly built
and (G major) filled with light and air
And the (C major) teachers taught us values
that we (G major) had to learn to keep
And they'd (C major) clip the ear of any
idle (G major) kid who went to sleep
Chorus 2
And my (C major) father organized (F major) for me
a (G major) college in the east (C major)
But I (C major) went to Cali (F major) fornia
the (G major) sunshine and the beach (C major)
My (C major) parents and my (F major) lecturers
could (C/G) never understand (G major)
Why I gave it up for music
and the free electric (C major) band (G major)
Bridge 1
Well, they (F major) used to sit and (C/G) speculate
upon (G major) their son's career (C major)
A (F major) lawyer or a doctor (C/G) or a (G major) civil engineer (C major)
Just (C major) give me bread and water, (F major)
put a (C/G) guitar in my (G major) hand
'Cause all I need is music and the free electric
(C major) band (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 3
My (C major) father sent sent me money
and I (G major) spent it very fast
On a (C major) girl I met in Berkeley
in a (G major) social science class
Yes, and we (C major) learned about her body
but her (G major) mind we didn't know
Until (C major) deep-rooted attitudes
and (G major) morals began to show
Chorus 3
She (C major) wanted to get married (F major)
even though (G major) she never said (C major)
And I (C major) knew her well enough (F major) by now
to (G major) see inside her head (C major)
She'd (C major) settle for suburbia (F major)
and a (C/G) little patch of land (G major)
So I gave her up for music
and the free electric (C major) band (G major)
(C major) Ooh, the (G major) free electric band
Outro 1
Da, ba, (C major) da, ba, da, da, dee, dee
with the (G major) free electric band
Da, ba, (C major) da, ba, da, da, dee, dee
with the (G major) free electric band
[Repeat and fade]
