INTRO: Em

                          D             Em                D
Well, the first thing I remember is the last thing that I saw
Em              D           C                 Em
Morning hit the barrel of a rifle going off
                           D                Em                 D
Then the daylight wrapped around me, then I heard the sergeant scream
     Em          D         C               Em
Then all my reservations fell gently at my feet


CHORUS:
               C    G
Now my heart is free_
           C    G
My heart is free_
    C                   G
And all the things that hold a man
   D            Em
No longer carry me


                       D         Em                 D
I was sure there was a reason to take that side and fight
    Em             D                    C                Em
But when I saw the trembling hands that put that shot in flight
                         D              Em              D
Well, I saw the hands of Jesus, saw the shores at Normandy
      Em               D              C                  Em
Saw a hundred thousand weary lost and homesick boys like me


CHORUS:
               C    G
Now my heart is free_
           C    G
My heart is free_
    C                   G
And all the things that hold a man
   D            Em
No longer carry me


INSTRUMENTAL: Em  D  Em  D  Em  D  C  Em


                        D               Em               D
Now they don't remember my name, or the girl that I made proud
        Em           D                 C             Em
And whatever drew me from her arms, is nothing to me now


CHORUS:
               C    G
Now my heart is free_
           C    G
My heart is free_
    C                   G
And all the things that hold a man
   D            Em
No longer carry me


CHORUS:
           C    G
My heart is free_
           C    G
My heart is free_
    C                   G
And all the things that hold a man
   D            Em
No longer carry me
