Set Me Free Chords by Joe Tex

_ [C] _ _ _ [F] I was out having dinner with a couple of [Bb] friends of mine the other day, _ _
[C] and when we finished
eating I walked outside [F] to get a little fresh air and have a smoke.
_ When I walked back inside
I could see in his face [Bb] that there was a terrible argument going on, [Gm] and I could hear her [Bb] say,
_ [C] and I saw a voice, set me free.
[F] And then she said to him, she said, if you think [Bb] you've
had _ enough, [C] man, if you [F] think our life's been rough, _ why not take [Bb] your love life [Gm] off of
me, _ [C] _ _ and [F] set me free.
And then she said to him, she said, if you think [Bb] our love's all
wrong, _
[C] _ and you [F] feel the fire is gone, _ if I'm not [Bb] what you'd like for me [Gm] to be, _ [C] _ _ why don't
you [F] set me free.
Then she said, set me free [Bb] and let me fly [C] _ like a [F] bluebird, and let me
fly, _ _ _ release the [Bb] chains that bind _ [Gm] you and _ me, [C] _ why don't you set [F] me free.
_ _ And as I stood
there and [Bb] listened to them argue, _ _
[C] _ I said I didn't know that this [F] was going on between
the two of them because they seemed to be so happy.
I said to myself, [Bb] I hope this never
happens to my love affair because I just [Gm] couldn't stand to hear my woman say [C] to me,
set me free.
[F] Because I could just hear her right now saying, set me free [Bb] and let me fly
[C] _ like a [F] bluebird, fly, release the chains [Bb] that bind you [Gm] and me.
And I said, I don't know
what to do with my life.
And she said, why don't you set me free.
[C] _ Why don't you set [F] me
free.
I don't think I could stand to hear her say, [Bb] set me free.
[C] _ _ Set [F] me free.
