[Intro]
 
Ab
 
[Verse]
 
Ab
River, it like to flow
Bb                Eb
Eagle, it like to fly
Ab
Eagle, it like to feel
             Bb       Eb
Its wings against the sky
 
Ab
Possum, it like to run
Bb                Eb
Ivy, it like to climb
     Ab
The bird in the tree and the bumble bee want
 Bb         Eb              Ab
Freedom in Autumn or Summertime
 
[Chorus]
 
                 C  Ddim Ebm
Ever since that day
         F#6/9         C
When the world was an onion
        Bb     Bbsus4  Bb(b5)     Bb      Ebsus2  E
It was natural for the spirit to soar and lay
             Eb    B    Eb
The way the Lord wanted
 
[Verse]
 
Ab
Free as the sun is free
     Bb                    Eb
But that's how it's got to be
     Ab
Whatever is right for the bumble bee
     Bb            Eb                Ab
And river and the eagle is right for me
 
[Interlude]

Its wings against the sky
 
Ab
Possum, it like to run
     Bb              Eb
And ivy, it like to climb

The bird in the tree and the bumble bee want

Freedom in Autumn or Summertime
