[Verse 1]
G B7 Em Dm7 F/G
Well, I know you got your troubles
C C/D G C/G G
But I've got problems of my own

You know I hate to see you cry
G B7 G C/G G
Because I've had my share of tears
B7 A/C# B7/D# Em7
Though it may sound cruel, you know I'd be a fool

To let it slide a few more years, listen

I just got to have my freedom

[Refrão]
C C/D G C/G G
And if that's giving you the blues

Progression and practice

Detected progression: G → B7 → Em → Em/D → A → C → C/D → C/G

The harmony or tempo is more demanding. Work on the hard changes before playing the whole song.

  • Start at 60 BPM. Speed up once you can keep time without stopping.
  • Practice the two hardest chord changes first, then go back to the whole song.
  • Use the transpose button if the key feels uncomfortable for your voice or the chord shapes you know.
