Been Set Free
By Peter Himmelman
>From the album "Skin"
transcribed by Tony Perry (tp@tunes.microserve.com)


I capo this on the third fret for an interesting effect and
because peter is a baritone and i'm a tenor.


F arpeggio
F - F - F - F

F       F     F           F     F          F     Dm     G
I been drivin sixteen hours, this rain is like a metronome

F        F     F                     F     F              F   m     G
and on my radio they're talking bout Jesus. Talkin all about coming home.

Dm                          F          Dm                Dm
Well I don't know a thing about it. I close my ears and live without it

Dm                F                  Dm     G
you can hear too much when you're alone.

F              F     F           F      F              F                Dm     G
Like children's voices and lovers moaning or a dry wind blowing through a
river bed

F           F      F              F           F              F      Dm         G
All these memories, well they're all wrapped up Like a ball of yarn inside
my head

Dm                            F       Dm                        Dm
Now a semi's moving up behind me. Its headlights they all but blind me.

Dm                                 F                Dm    (G)
But it's funny, for the first time I can see.


Dm                 F          F                F
I have believed in money, but all I got was greed
Dm                 F              F                F
I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed
Dm                  F        F                        F
I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me
Dm       F                 G                             Dm
If I had only believed in love I could have been set free.

F           F       F           F      F            F    Dm            G
I often wonder does it matter or is this all a worthless joke

F           F     F             F       F         F         Dm          G
are we just atoms conceived in silence awaiting our turn to fly like smoke

Dm                 F               Dm                                Dm
I'd do anything to lay beside you, I'd bring you all the things that I
denied you

Dm             F                        Dm    (G)
I'd say the words I seldom spoke

Dm                        F              F                F
I have believed in money, but all I got was greed
Dm                        F                     F                F
I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed
Dm                        F              F                                F
I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me
Dm               F                 G                                    Dm
If I had only believed in love I could have been set free.

(break - chorus)

Dm                 F          F                F
I have believed in money, but all I got was greed
Dm                 F              F                F
I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed
Dm                  F        F                        F
I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me
Dm               F         G
If I had only believed in love.
Dm               F         G
If I had only believed in love.
Dm               F         G
If I had only believed in love.
                                          Dm
I could have been set free
