the day grows long

Your sister marries a nice young man

and they build a house of diamonds

But the sun is snuffed by the curtains

Can't someone come untie you?
Am F C
But there is too much work to do
Am C
Yes, they all admire you
C F Em
You are free

You are already free
G Gp
You are alll-already free
Intro x2
C F E
You are free from the greed of your culture
A G
You are free from the lust for the luster

of the diamond houses in the city's cluster
Am G Am G
C F E
Yes, you own the stars, you own the thunder
Am G
But you have to share it all

Yes, you own the stars, you own the thunder
Am G
But you have to share

You are freeeeee
Am
You are already free
G Gp C
You are alll already free

NOTE: His House of Diamonds cover is played differently than the actual song (the number
of times he repeats the intro progression throughout the song is less than the original recording)
