Steve Earle - Lonely Are The Free Chords

[Intro]
 
C Am C Am
 
 
[Verse]
 
C
Lonely are the free
                                         Am
There ain't that many of them they don't walk like you and me
          C
They just tumble in the breeze
                           Am
Lighter than a feather altogether separately
       C
That's how it's s'posed to be no matter where they wander
     Am
From post to in between from here to over yonder
           C
There's no place for them to lean
Am
Lonely are the free
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    C
The silent are the strong
                                   Am
Not so much as a whisper tells you anything is wrong
C
You've known all along
                                  Am
But you can't help but listen and now the moment's gone
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F
Keeps you hangin' on until the silence signalin'
    Am
The breakin' of the dawn is shattered by the sirens singin'
C
Sacrificial songs
Am
Silent are the strong
 
 
[Interlude]
 
C Am C Am
C Am C Am
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
       F
That's all there is to see a violent shadow passin'
          Am
Cross the sun so fleetingly that if you have to ask
            C
You miss it anyway you see
Am
Lonely are the free
 
 
[Outro]
