Freedom
Paloma Faith
I've been looking for the chords to this song and couldn't find any so I decided to
make my own. I listened to the live session version of this song, which is a little
different from the album version. Either way, you should be able to figure it out.
The sus chords can be omitted, but I think they add to the song and help get that
gospel sound in the beginning.

-------------------------|-----------------------| For this part, when the Bb's start,
--3-----3-----3-----3----|-----------------------| you're just walking down the bass from
--3-----3-----3-----3----|--5----7----8----10----| Bb to G. I find it easier to use my first
--3-----3-----3-----3----|--x----x----x----x-----| finger to bar the 3's and use my other
--x-----x-----x-----x----|--3----5----6----8-----| fingers to reach the bass notes.
--6-----5-----4-----3----|-----------------------| For the "...And say it again" part, that
F is a full barre chord.

I will never leave you stranded
