          I have chorded the song as if played in first postion.
          However, he plays with a capo at the 4th fret.

           = xx0210

     Intro:  Basically same as the Verse

     Verse:

                                               
     I couldn't bribe a wino, on what I used to make

                                        
     My fortune was as sure as the wind

                                           
     But I was free to wonder, time was on my hands

                                     
     It was mine to burn and to bend


     Chorus:

                                        
     Freedom for freedom, call that an even scheme

                                          
     Give me time to wonder and to dream

                                     
     I'll take the money, they'll take the time

                                         
     Down to the land of the bottom line

     
     To the bottom line.


     Verses

     Then there came a chance, to make some steady dough
     Bouncing up my alley to the door
     You fill your clothes with keys, and dammned responsibilities
     Trading the maybe for the sure.

     (Chorus)

     All I ever wanted, was to be a kid and play
     Fighting every change along the way
     I don't like work, I don't like waste
     And I don't like waiting for a taste.

     (Chorus)
