Set Me Free

I really was chugging up a river in a beat up tub (in Myanmar) when I wrote this - get a good line and the song takes over! This may just be a straight boogie but I think it really cooks... Get on down!

UFS 11 Set me free

E boogie

I’ve been chugging up your river in a beat up tub

Don’t wanna be an Indian giver but hey here’s the rub

B G D E

Darling please, ain’t it time to set me free

I’ve been crawling up your chimney with my big sweep’s brush

I don’t think I’ve got it in me to give you the shove

But Darling please, ain’t it time to set me free

 

I’ve been digging your potatoes with my spade and hoe

I can’t help but think that maybe it’s the time to go

Darling please, ain’t it time to set me free

I’ve been eating at your table with my knife and fork

Honey don’t you think it’s time that we should have that talk

Darling please, ain’t it time to set me free

 

A E

Don’t you think that things have run their course?

A E

Let’s quit before it starts to go from bad to worse

Ab

Don’t wanna spend my life just marking time

A

Girls like you must be about a dozen a dime

C7/maj7 B7

It’s like I’m floundering underneath your curse

 

Ive been scrubbing in your bathroom with your bar of soap

I’ve been looking to the future now with sinking hope

Darling please, ain’t it time to set me free

I’ve been sleeping in your bed without a by your leave

You know I really never meant to hurt or deceive

Darling please, ain’t it time to set me free

Repeat end phrase to fade-out
