          that you can call free .. they're getting their kicks 
                        C      D         Em  D  C  D
          they're laughing at you and me...
                  
      For all you lightwights that don't know what it is about ...
      
         The lovely police ... Nice men and women that they are decided
         that a certain number of peace loving individuals should not
         be allowed access to a festival ground near stone hendge....
         
          There had been a festival on the site for years (untill 1983 
          that is ... ) when the police beat everyone crapless ..
          very nice of them if you ask me ... and decided that the 
          festival goers which actually just a bunch of annoying hippies
          to be pushed around when ever a bored policeman/woman had
          nothing better to do...
           
           and so they did exactly that ... and ever since there has been
           no free festival there... (but one VERY close to it)...
           
           Isn't it nice to know that you live in a free country ..
           BML.....
              
      Have fun working it out .. you'll have to listen to the song to
      get the correct timings ... mainly because i am just to lazy to
      bother writing it out in tab ... oh well .. students eh?? who needs 
      them....
      bye...
