                                   Freedom
                              By: Jimi Hendrix
                                 Cry of Love

     Hey, I just bought this book titled : "In Deep with Jimi Hendrix."
Yah, I kinda think it sounds like a porno title too.  Anyways, it has some 
parts of songs tabbed, but they are incomplete.   One of them is 'Freedom.'
I love this song, here goes:

Ok here's how it fits together

Basic Riff (br):
You got my pride hangin outta my bed
You been messin with my life, so I brought my lead.
Even messin with my children, and you screamin at my wife,
Get off of my back if you wanna get out of here alive.

The Chrorus Riff (which i don't know so i didn't include, SOMEONE HELP!)
Freedom (freedom) give it to me (thats what i want now)
Freedom (freedom) give it to me (thats what i need now)
Freedom (freedom) give it to me (to live)
Freedom (freedom) give it to me (so i can give)

BR
Youve got my heart ?speakin 'lectric water?
Youve got my soul screamin and hollerin
you know you hooked my girlfriend, you know the drugstore man
but i dont need it now, just tryin to slap it out or her hand.

Chorus again

Bridge:
You don't have to say that you love me if you don't mean it, you 
      better believe
If you need me or you just want to bleed me, you better stick in your
      dagger in someone else, so i can leave.

solo section

BR:
Right on, straight ahead
etc.
