			     �That�s freedom� by John Farnham.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Tim Norton � Australia.
Email: t_n46@hotmail.com

Tuning: standard EADGBE

This is the album version from �Chain Reaction� 1990, although I have also tabbed out 
live solo performed by Jack Jones (Irwin Thomas) from the 1990 Melbourne �Chain reaction� 
(on DVD). The background power chords are noted at the bottom of the page.
Great song. Good luck and enjoy!

Intro: E6*

Verse 1a:
E6                                         E6/C#*
I don�t know what you want from me or what you think love ought to be
E6	                                       E6/C#
I want something that�s open and strong as the country this road�s moving on from the

Verse 1b
E6                              E6/C#
Mountain to the valley from the ocean to the alley from the
E6                        E6/C#
highway to the river one emotion to deliver

Pre-chorus:
    Asus2*        Bsus2*       Asus2       Bsus2
One heart,    one way,     one love,    to share but not to chain (that�s freedom)

Chorus:
E                  F#m*                Bsus2               Asus2
It�s a song of the heart a race in the wind a light in the dark (that�s freedom)
E                F#m                Bsus2             Asus2
It�s a reason to live and after the rain rekindle the spark let freedom ring.


Fill: E6


Verse 2:
E6                                     E6/C#
I don�t know why it takes so long to remember what the world�s doing wrong
E6                                 E6/C#
Never wanted to shove my plan on another who can�t understand

Pre-chorus 2:
Asus2                                  Bsus2
All I want is a fast lane to where the road across this plain won�t take you
Asus2                              Bsus2
I want something you understand to make us stand proud as nothing else can (that�s freedom)

Chorus:
E                  F#m                 Bsus2               Asus2
It�s a song of the heart a race in the wind a light in the dark (that�s freedom)
E                F#m                Bsus2             Asus2
It�s a reason to live and after the rain rekindle the spark (that�s freedom)
E                 F#m                 Bsus2                Asus2
It�s a measure of trust when love is alive it�s tender and tough (that�s freedom)
E                 F#m               Bsus2             Asus2
It�s all love is about it�s opening up and letting it out let freedom ring
