FREEDOM OF '76 - words and music by Ween **from the album "Chocolate and Cheese" **Note: We did not figure this song out at all. Mickey sent it to someone who then posted it. God love'em. So, my only contribution is gonna be to put up the chord shapes for y'all. Cuz this song rocks. ***************************************************************************** From boborr@voicenet.com Tue Oct 1 11:47:21 1996 Date: Thu, 19 Sep 1996 17:51:58 -0400 From: mickey melchiondo To: sydb@wam.umd.edu Subject: freedom of '76 hey dude, saw your post and decided to check out your website..... also thought i should give you the correct breakdown on "freedom". this is what you have: Emaj7 F#m7 G#m7 F#m7 B C D Db F#m7 G#m7 A A# B7/#9 but this is what it really is: Emaj7 F#m7 G#m7 Amaj7 Cmaj7 B7 Dmaj7 C#7 F#m7-E A A# B7/add 9 ***************************************************************************** Emaj7 F#m7 G#m7 Amaj7 Cmaj7 B7 Dmaj7 C#7 E |=0=== =2=== =4=== =4=== =0=== =2=== =2=== =4=== B |=0=== =2=== =4=== =2=== =0=== =0=== =2=== =2=== G |=1=== =2=== =4=== =2=== =0=== =2=== =2=== =4=== D |=1=== =2=== =4=== =2=== =2=== =1=== =0=== =3=== A |=2=== ===== ===== =0=== =3=== =2=== ===== ===== E |=0=== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== Freedom of '76 Emaj7 F#m7 Freedom of the body G#m7 Amaj7 Freedom of the mind Cmaj7 B7 A ho on South Street hired for tricks Dmaj7 C#7 Little girls pickin' up sticks F#m7 E A A# B7/add 9 Free-dom of sevent-ty six Wastee little weasel Wants cheap tricks Liberty bell cracked in half A bacon steak a perfect match Freedom of '76 My girl Sasha Lookin' good on the street "Mannequin" was filed at Woolworth's Boyz II Men still keepin' up the beat Freedom of '76 Fairmount Park in the summer Lookin' good on the street "Mannequin" was filed at Woolworth's Boyz II Men still keepin' up the beat Freedom of '76 ***Bass Tab*** by Geoffrey Dickens Had trouble with this one. Couldn't seem to pick anything out properly today, particularly which octaves the notes were from. It's all close and sound fine (or right?) along with the song, but just improvise around where you feel the need.
