[F#]
[B] There's a man who's been out sailing in a [B] decade full of dreams
And [F#] he takes her to a schooner and [F#] he treats her like a queen
And beats from [B] California [F#] with her amber stones and [B] green
He has called her from the harbor
He [B] has kissed her with [F#] his freedom
He has heard her off to starboard in [F#] the breaking and the [G#] breathing of the waterweeds
While she was [B] busy being free
There's a man who's climbed a mountain and [B] he's calling out her name
[F#] And he hopes her heart can hear three thousand miles he calls her name
He can think of her [B] beside him, [F#] he can miss her just the same
He has missed her in the forest while he showed her all the flowers
And the branches sang the chorus as he [B] climbed the scaly [G#] towers
Of [F#] a forest tree
[G#] While [F#] she [B] was somewhere [F#] being free
There's a man who sent a letter [B] and he's waiting for reply
He [F#] has asked her of her travels since the day they said goodbye
He writes, wish you [B] were beside [F#] me, we can make it if we [B]
try
He has seen her [F#] at the office with her name on all his papers
Through the [B] sharing of the [F#] profits
He will find it hard to shake her [F#] from his memory
[C#] And [F#] she's so busy being free
There's a lady in the city and she thinks she loves them all
There's the one who's thinking [B] of her, there's the one who [C#] sometimes calls
[F#] There's the one who writes her [B] letters [F#] with his facts and figures sprawled
She has brought them to her senses, they [B] have laughed inside [F#] her laughter
Now she [B] rallies [F#] her defences, for [B] she fears that one will [C#] ask her [F#] for eternity
[G#] And she's [B] so busy [F#] being free
There's a man who sends her medals, he is bleeding from the war
There's a jouster and a jester and a man who owns a store
There's a drummer and a dreamer and you know there may [B] be more
She will love them when [F#] she sees them, they will [B]
lose her if [F#] they follow
And she [B]
only means to please them
And her [B] heart is full and hollow [F#] like a cactus tree
[G#] While [F#]
she's [B] so busy being free
Like a cactus [C#] tree
