Bb
I used to be a rolling stone
Bb
You know if the cause was right
    C7                Eb     C7     Bb   F
I'd leave to find the answer on the road
  Bb                    
I used to be a heart beating for someone
Bb
But the times have changed
C7                 Eb      C7        Bb
The less I say the more my work gets done

         Eb                    Ab/Eb Eb       Bb
`Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
         Eb             Ab/Eb      Eb         Bb
From the day that I was born I've waved the flag
Ab                           G7             Cm   
Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man.

Yeah gave me peace of mind my daddy never had

   Bb                            Eb    Bb/D
Oh Philadelphia freedom shine on me, I love you
        Cm                Dm7         E7        Am7    D7
Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind
Gm            Cm        
Shine a light shine a light
Dm                      Ab/Eb    Eb
Shine a light won't you shine a light

Bb
If you choose to you can live your life alone
Bb
Some people choose the city
     C7                Eb       C7     Bb    F
Some others choose the good old family home
Bb
I like living easy without family ties
Bb                               C7 
Till the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me
Eb      C7            Bb
Right between the eyes
