Subject: TAB: (It's Good) To Be Free  by Oasis

>From Fred Lidskog 

(It's Good) To Be Free, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis.
Song can be found on the "Whatever" single.

Chords used:

Em	(022000)
C	(x32010)
C2	(x35553)
D	(xx0232)
D2	(x57775)
D/F#	(2x0232)
A	(x02220)
Am	(x02210)

NOTE: What you've got in this song is one guitar playing each chord with
distortion, another guitar with a sort of fuzzy, muffled effect picking
the strings separately for each chord, and a third guitar doing the solos
and the fills with heavy distortion. Anyways, the second guitar that's
picking the strings separately plays an "Em7" (022030) while the first
guitar is plays an "Em", and the second guitar also plays a "Cadd9"
(x32030) while the 1st guitar plays the "C"s in the song. Listen to the
song to hear the pattern at which the 2nd guitar is picking the strings.


Intro
-----

Tab Key:

b = bend (7b8 means bend the string at the 7th fret to make the note that
the string would make if played at the 8th fret with no bend)
r = release bend
s = slide
/ = a slower slide
h = hammer on
p = pull off
^ = vibrate the note
* = Artificial Harmonic (a.k.a. "scream"). Done by picking the string and
     your index finger brushing against the string at the same time as the
     pick.

Verse 1
-------
Em
Head like a rock spinning round and round,
  C
I found it in a hole sitting upside down,
    A			  Am              Em
You point the finger at me, but I don't believe
Em
Paint me a wish on a velvet sky
C
You demand the answers, I don't know why
      A            Am                Em
In my mind (in my mind), there is no time

Verse 2
-------
So what would you say if I said to you
It's not the what you say it's the what you do
You point the finger at me, but I don't believe
Bring it on home to where we found
My head is like a rock sitting upside down
In my mind, there is no time

Chorus

It's the little things that make me so happy
All I wanna do is live by the sea
The little things they make me so happy
But it's good, yes, it's good, it's good to be free
