[Verse 1]
I [G]used to be a rolling stone you know
If the cause was right
I'd [A]leave to find [Gm]the answer

I [G]used to be a heart beating for someone
But the times have changed
[A]The less I say the mor[Gm]e
my [Am]work gets [G]done

[Pre-chorus 1]
'Cause I [C]live and breathe
this [F]Phila[C]delphia [G]freedom
From the [C]day that I was [F]born
I've [C]waved the [G]flag

Gave me [E]peace of mind
my [Eb]dad dy never [C]had

[Chorus 1]
Oh, [G]Philadelphia freedom
Shine on [C]me, I [G]love you

[G]If you choose to
you can live your life alone
Some people choose the city
(some people choose...)
Some [A]others
choose the [Gm]good old [Am]fam ly h[G]ome
(some others choose a good old [D]family home)
[G]I like living easy
without family ties (livin' easy)
Till the whippoorwill of freedom [A]zapped me
[Gm]Right be[Am]tween the [G]eyes
