[Verse 1]
[D]The[G]re'[D]s a[G]
[D]man who's been out sailing
on [G]a decade full of dreams
And he [D]takes her to his schooner
and he [G]treats her like a queen [D]bear
ing beats from Califor[G]nia
with her amber stones and green
he has called her from the [D]harbor
he has kissed [G]her with his [D]freedom
he has heard [G]her off to [D]starboard
In the breaking [G]and the breathing
of the [D]water wing[G]s
While she was busy be[D]ing free[G]
There's a [D]man who's
climbed a mountain
Now he's calling [G]out her name
And [D]he hopes her heart can hear
3 ,000 miles [G]he calls again.
He [D]can't think her
there beside him.
He can miss [G]her just the same.
He has missed her in the [D]forest
while he showed [G]her all the
[D]flowers and [G]the
Branches sang the [D]chorus
as he climbs [G]the scaly tower
of a [D]forest [G]tree
while she was somewhere
be[D]ing free[G]
There's a man [D]who sends a letter,
now he's [G]waiting for a reply
He has [D]asked her of her travels,
since the day [G]they said goodbye
[D]He writes, wish you were beside me,
[G]we could make it if we tried
He has seen her at the [D]office,
with [G]her name on all his [D]pa
pers.
Through the sharing [G]of the [D]profits,
he will find [G]it hard to shake
her from his [D]memory.[G]
Because she's just so busy
being [D]free[G][D][G]
There's a lady [D]in the city
And she thinks [G]she loves them all
There's the one [D]who's
thinking of her
There's the one [G]who sometimes cries,
there's the one [D]who writes her letters
[G]With his [D]facts and figures [G]strong
She has brought them to [D]her senses
They are left [G]inside her [D]laughter
Now she rallies [G]her defenses
[D]For she fea[G]rs that one will ask
her [D]for eternity
Be[G]cause she's just so busy
being [D]free[G]
There's the man [D]who sends her medals
He is bleeding [G]from the warms
There's [D]a jouster and a jester
and a man who owns [G]a star
There's a drama [D]and [G]a dream
and you know [D]there may be [G]more
She will love them when [D]she
sees them
They will lose [G]her if [D]they follow
And [G]she only means [D]to please them
An[G]d her heart is full and hollow
Like a [D]cactus [G]tree
And she's so busy [D]being [G]free
Like a [D]cactus [G]tree
Being [D]free[G][D][G][D][G]
You
