Been Set Free
By Peter Himmelman
>From the album “Skin”
transcribed by Tony Perry (tp@tunes.microserve.com)
I capo this on the third fret for an interesting effect and
because peter is a baritone and i’m a tenor.
G arpeggio

I been d
rivin
sixteen hour
s, thi
s rain is l
ike a
metrono
me
and on my
radio
they’re talking bout
Jesus.
Talkin all abo
ut c
oming
home.
Well I don’t know a thing ab
out it. I c
lose my ears and l
ive without it
you can hear too m
uch when you’re alo
ne.
Like children’s
voice
s and lovers
moanin
g or a dry wind
blowing through
a
river bed
All these me
mories,
well they’re a
ll wrapped u
p Like a ball o
f yarn
inside
my head
Now a semi’s moving up behind
me. Its
headlights they all but bl
ind me.
But it’s funny, for the first time
I can see.
[(D)]
I have believed in
money, but
all I got was gre
ed
I have believed in
vengeance, but
all I did was ble
ed
I have believed in f
ame, but
fame turned its back on m
e
If I had
only believed in l
ove I could have been set free
.
I often wond
er does
it matter or
is thi
s all a worth
less
joke
are we just
atoms
conceived in s
ilence a
waiting ou
r turn to
fly like smo
ke
I’d do anything to
lay beside you,
I’d bring you all the things that
I
denied you
I’d say the wor
ds I seldom spoke
[(D)]
I have believed in money,
but all I got w
as greed
I have believed in vengean
ce, but all I did was
bleed
I have believed in fame, b
ut fame turned
its back on me
If I had only bel
ieved in love I co
uld have been set free.
(break – chorus)
I have believed in
money, but
all I got was gre
ed
I have believed in
vengeance, but
all I did was ble
ed
I have believed in f
ame, but
fame turned its back on m
e
If I had only bel
ieved in l
ove.
If I had only bel
ieved in l
ove.
If I had only bel
ieved in l
ove.
I could have been set free
