[Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Cm] [Bb] I used to be a rolling stone, you know, never caused a write.
I'd [C] leave to [Db] find an answer [C]
on the road.
[Bb]
I used to be a hard beat for someone, but the times have changed.
[C] The less I say [Db] it, the more [C] my work gets [Bb] done.
[Eb] Cause I live in Philadelphia [Bb] freedom.
[Eb] From the day that I [Ab] walked [Eb]
away from [Bb] the flag.
[Ab] Philadelphia freedom [G] took me knee high to [Cm] a man.
[Ab] Yeah, [G] give me peace all my life, my [Gb] daddy never [Eb] had.
[Bb] Oh, Philadelphia freedom, shine [Eb] on me.
[Bb] I love it, shine [Cm] a light through [Bb] the eyes of [C] the [F] one left behind.
[D]
[Gm] Shine a light, [Cm] shine a light.
[Bb] Shine a light, [Ab] oh shine a light.
[Eb] [Dm] [Eb] Philadelphia [F] freedom, [Eb] I [Bb] love [Cm] it.
[Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
If it's you, you can live your life.
Some people choose the city, some [C] of them choose [Db] a good [C] old family [Bb] home.
I get a little easy with our family ties.
So my willpower will unfreeze on [C] its side, [Db] right [C]
between [Bb] the eyes.
Cause [Eb] I live in Philadelphia
[Bb] freedom.
From [Eb] the day that I walked away [Bb] from the flag.
[Ab] Philadelphia [G] freedom took me knee high to [Cm] a man.
[Ab]
Yeah, [G] give me peace all my life, [Gb] my daddy never [Eb] had.
