[Riff & Chords]
B              G
My name is Chip
D                F#
And I'm different
B              G
I don't comform
D                      F#
I wear a different uniform

G              C
I'm out of the blue
B               C
And so you are, too
D                      E           G       G#
Let me sing about one thing thats clear

G              C

B                C
The pleasure of tones
D                      E        G     G#
That belongs to a guy with no ear

They tried to give me advice
[Bass Riff]
Down at the record shop
[Bass Riff]
I said "Sit down boys,
[Bass Riff]
This may come as a SHOCK!
[Bass Riff]
What's all I listen too,
[Bass Riff]
It's all Freedom Rock"

How can you free me

How can you free me

When I am free?
