Passenger - To Be Free: Guitar Chords

D
Vineland, New Jersey, farm land stretching
                    G
Far as the eye can see
Em7                     A
Not much down there, but sun-scorched pastures in
D                G
Nineteen-fifty-three
D
The war is over, they came searching
                G
For a place to be
Em7                          A
They left the Rhineland, they lost their homeland, and
D              G
All their family

Chorus:
A                    G
Like feathers on the ocean breeze
           Bm           A/C#                D
They went spinning and tumbling 'cross the sea
Em                             G  A
Never known where they'd come down
               D
Or who they'd be
A                    G
Like heather on the hillside
           Bm                    A/C#             D
They were bruised and they were battered by the breeze
Em7               G  A
Searching for a place
        D
To be free

Sun burn summers and frost by winter
Kids were plainly dressed
Left the farmhouse when he was old enough, and
Headed out west
From California to Southern Africa
And all the way to France
And on to England to meet my mother in
1981

Chorus

         G
Oh, and like a seed
         Gm
That is flying in the wind
              D      A/C#     Bm
In search of water, soil, and sun
Em7                    E9
And the birds and the bees
                  A
To have it all along

Now here I am, thirty-three years down
Two-thousand-seventeen
I've seen the Rhineland, I've been to Vineland, I'm
A feather on the breeze
