CHORDS: [play with capo on 3rd fret]
-------
       EADGBE
D     (xx0232)
G     (320033)
A     (x02220)
Asus4 (x02230)


Great feel-good song!! Two things that are important, this is played
with a capo on the third fret, all chord names and numbers are
relative to the capo. But near the end there's another guitar that
plays a small part without the capo. And another thing, the A's in
the song, I think they should actually be Asus4, I just didn't want
to write it everywhere, I just use a normal A myself but the Asus4
is more correct. Try both and use whichever one you think sounds
better.


INTRO:
------
D  G    G D  A

VERSE 1:

D  G     G D  A


VERSE 2: [play like VERSE 1]
--------
It's a long day, living in Reseda
There's a freeway, runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy, cos I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy, for breakin' her heart


CHORUS:
-------
        D    G      G D  A      D     G   G D  A
And I'm freeeeeeee,        free fallin'
         D    G     G D  A      D     G   G D  A
Yeah I'm freeeeeee,        free fallin'


VERSE 3: [play like VERSE 1]
--------
All the vampires, walkin' through the valley
Move west down, Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys, are standing in the shadows
And the good girls, are home with broken hearts


CHORUS: [play like first CHORUS]
-------
And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'


This little riff is used in the bridge:

RIFF 1:  [with capo on 3rd fret]
   D   A        D
E|-------------------|
B|-------------------|
G|-------------------|
D|--4--4-2--0-2-0----|
A|-------------------|
E|-------------------|

BRIDGE:
-------
[I'm just writing the chords, you can easily here where
 RIFF 1 is supposed to be played.]

D  G    G D  A  D     G                 G D    A
                 Free fallin', now I'm,   free fallin', now I'm
D  G    G D  A  D     G                 G D    A
                 Free fallin', now I'm,   free fallin', now I'm


VERSE 4: [play like VERSE 1]
--------
I wanna glide down, over Mulholland
I wanna write her, name in the sky
Gonna free fall, out into nothin'
Gonna leave this, world for a while


[In the next choruses there are always backing vocals singing:
 "Free fallin', now I'm, free fallin', now I'm"]

CHORUS: [play like first CHORUS]
-------
And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

[Now comes a small part that's played WITHOUT the capo on the 3rd fret]

E|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|-------3-3-3-3-3-3-----5-5-5-5-5-|
A|-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
E|-1-1-1-------------1-1-----------|

Play that twice and the second time the backing vocals sing
the chorus line.


OUTRO:
------
Keep singing the same old chorus and fade out...
