F# F#4
There's a man who's been out sailing
F# F#4
In a decade full of dreams
F# F#4
And he takes her to a schooner
F# C#9
And he treats her like a queen
G#m
Bearing beads from California
E F#
With their amber stones and green
B F#
He has called her from the harbor
B F#
He has kissed her with his freedom
B F#
He has heard her off to starboard
B C#9
In the breaking and the breathing
G#m E
Of the water weeds
B E F# F#4 F# F#4
While she was busy being free
F# F#4
There's a man who's climbed a mountain
F# F#4
And he's calling out her name
F# F#4
And he hopes her heart can hear
F#
Three thousand miles
C#9
He calls again
G#m
He can think her there beside him
E F#
He can miss her just the same
B F#
He has missed her in the forest
B F#
While he showed her all the flowers
B F#
And the branches sang the Chorus
B C#9
As he climbed the scaley towers
G#m E
Of a forest tree
B E F# F#4 F# F#4
While she was somewhere being free
F# F#4
There's a man who's sent a letter
F# F#4
And he's waiting for reply
F# F#4
He has asked her of her travels
F# C#9
Since the day they said goodbye
G#m
He writes 'Wish you were beside me
E F#
We can make it if we try'
B F#
He has seen her at the office
B F#
With her name on all his papers
B F#
Through the sharing of the profits
B C#9
He will find it hard to shake her
G#m E
From his memory
B E F# F#4 F# F#4
And she's so busy being free
F# F#4
There's a lady in the city
F# F#4
And she thinks she loves them all
F# F#4
There's the one who's thinking of her
F# C#9
There's the one who sometimes calls
G#m
There's the one who writes her letters
E F#
With his facts and figures scrawl
B F#
She has brought them to her senses
B F#
They have laughed inside her laughter
B F#
Now she rallies her defenses
B C#9
For she fears that one will ask her
G#m E
For eternity
B E F# F#4 F# F#4
And she's so busy being free
F# F#4
There's a man who sends her medals
F# F#4
He is bleeding from the war
F# F#4
There's a jouster and a jester
F# C#9
And a man who owns a store
G#m
There's a drummer and a dreamer
E F#
And you know there may be more
B F#
She will love them when she sees them
B F#
They will lose her if they follow
B F#
And she only means to please them
B C#9
And her heart is full and hollow
G#m E
Like a cactus tree
B E F#
While she's so busy being free
