Been Set Free
By Peter Himmelman
>From the album “Skin”
transcribed by Tony Perry (tp@tunes.microserve.com)

I capo this on the third fret for an interesting effect and
because peter is a baritone and i’m a tenor.

G arpeggio
[-] [-] [-]
I been drivin sixteen hours, this rain is like a metronome

and on my radio they’re talking bout Jesus. Talkin all about coming home.

Well I don’t know a thing about it. I close my ears and live without it

you can hear too much when you’re alone.

Like children’s voices and lovers moaning or a dry wind blowing through a
river bed

All these memories, well they’re all wrapped up Like a ball of yarn inside
my head

Now a semi’s moving up behind me. Its headlights they all but blind me.

But it’s funny, for the first time I can see.[(D)]

I have believed in money, but all I got was greed
I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed
I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me
If I had only believed in love I could have been set free.

I often wonder does it matter or is this all a worthless joke

are we just atoms conceived in silence awaiting our turn to fly like smoke

I’d do anything to lay beside you, I’d bring you all the things that I
denied you

I’d say the words I seldom spoke[(D)]

I have believed in money, but all I got was greed
I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed
I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me
If I had only believed in love I could have been set free.

(break – chorus)

I have believed in money, but all I got was greed
I have believed in vengeance, but all I did was bleed
I have believed in fame, but fame turned its back on me
If I had only believed in love.
If I had only believed in love.
If I had only believed in love.
I could have been set free
